• The B.A. major prepares students for careers outside the laboratory, such as medical school, dental school, or non-traditional careers in chemistry. Biochemistry studies the chemical processes of living organisms, bringing together biology and chemistry to understand and solve biological problems.
  • The Department of Chemistry (CHEM) offers both bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in chemistry and biochemistry.
  • Recommended preparation to enter one of these programs includes two years of algebra, a half year of trigonometry, one year of physics, and one year of chemistry at the high-school level (or equivalent coursework at the college level).
