The biochemistry track is ideal for students wishing to prepare for entrance to medical school, dental school or graduate study in biochemistry. (For more information on What You Can Do With a Chemistry Degree click here.) For additional information, the American Chemical Society (ACS) has a chemistry career website that you can check out. In order to earn a major in chemistry under the biochemistry track you must take at least 45 semester hours in chemistry. The Chemistry (Biochemistry Track) Curriculum:
A minor is required for students in the biochemistry track. Most students choose to complete a minor in biology. In addition to courses in the major and minor, you must take PHYS 1111 and 1112 along with MATH 1113 (Pre-calculus) and MATH 2011 (Calculus I). We also require a computer programming course such as CSCI 1200. You must also meet all University Core Curriculum and graduation requirements as outlined in the university catalog. Work on an undergraduate research project with one of our faculty is also encouraged. In any event, regular communication with your academic advisor is necessary to ensure satisfactory completion of your degree requirements and to guarantee that you are progressing along the lines dictated by your future interests in chemistry.
