Biochemistry and biotechnology are at the cutting edge of many new advances in healthcare and science. The Biochemistry Concentration of the BS Chemistry degree provides a broad education that includes all 5 traditional disciplines of chemistry (inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, and biochemistry) while offering the flexibility to customize the curriculum to prepare for professional programs such as medical, dental, or pharmacy. The molecular basis of a chemistry degree establishes a firm foundation for a career in healthcare or for exploration of biological systems in graduate school or in a career. Data from the Association of American Medical Colleges show that biochemistry and chemistry majors consistently earn among the top scores on the MCAT, only behind majors such as physics, math, and engineering. The new version of the MCAT for 2015 will now include a section on biochemistry that is not present in the current MCAT, emphasizing the value of this discipline in medical preparation.
