Return to: Programs
The BS in Biochemistry is designed for students wishing to pursue careers as professional biochemists or attend graduate school in biochemistry. In addition to the skills students gain in their laboratory courses, chemistry and biochemistry majors - BS majors in particular - should consider electing CHEM 4904 Research: Upper Division, or CHEM 4905 Internship at least once during their academic career. Research provides a different kind of experience than traditional laboratory courses. Students must do sufficient planning to carry out experiments, and regular communication with their research supervisor is a necessary component of the research experience.
