- As a program approved by the American Chemical Society, the department offers a rigorous education across all sub-disciplines of chemistry and biochemistry, providing students with the intellectual, experimental, and communication skills necessary for preparation as a scientific professional.
- The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in biochemistry requires the fewest major credits and contains more elective options than either B.S. degree. The B.A. degree is a good choice if students are interested in a career in the health professions, as it leaves more time for pursuing a minor, another major, or volunteer activities off-campus, all of which enhance one’s application for medical school or another health profession program.
