  • The Bachelor of Scienceprepares you for professional schools, graduate studies in biochemistry, or to pursue careers as professional biochemists. This degree includes a choice between four tracks:
    •  Standard - includes studies in calculus, analytical chemistry and general physics.
    • American Chemical Society (ACS) - includes additional advanced studies in calculus, analytical chemistry and engineering physics.
    • Biomedical Sciences - designed for those preparing to enter professional schools of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy or optometry, or who wish to enter the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries.
    • Pre-Vet track - prepares students who plan to enter professional veterinary schools.
    • In addition, the health professions fast-track cooperative degree offers students the chance to enter professional school after only three years at ACU.
