Biochemistry careers are built on a solid foundation of understanding complex chemical reactions that occur inside each living organism. Also known as the chemistry of life, the study of biochemistry connects the living world and the chemical world to study the processes that occur in plants, animals and single-celled organisms. Biochemistry is responsible for a majority of the advances in medical research, agriculture and genetic engineering, all of which are generally accomplished by tying together new medical technologies and discoveries in both genetic and cell biology. When new or transformational discoveries are unveiled, it is likely that a biochemist is part of the team. With a biochemistry degree, this could be you.

Build Professional Relationships

Beyond the classroom, biochemistry majors build leadership and professional experience through exciting internships and participation in academic organizations like Tri Beta (biological sciences honor society), the Premed Club, Student Government and over 100 other student organizations. Biochemistry majors also participate in exciting summer field programs that take them to Costa Rica, Peru, the Caribbean, Australia, the Appalachians and Rocky Mountains and the African savannah.
