Introduction
Chemistry majors choosing this concentration are typically those who are interested in attending medical, veterinary or pharmacy schools or graduate school in biochemistry.
Education and skill development in this area are an important part of the preparation for further studies in the fields of Medicine and Pharmacy as well as in preparation for careers or graduate school in Biochemistry and related scientific disciplines.
Students choosing this option will have completed the topics recommended for a biochemistry major by the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Chemistry
Chemistry is often referred to as the “central science” because the chemical processes studied form the foundation for many of the biological and physical phenomena in our world.
As a chemistry major, you'll learn how chemical compounds are studied and used in various applications, such as methods to detect and treat disease, alternative energy, food and agriculture, polymers, paints, cosmetics and much more. You'll also learn how to create and implement experiments while you collaboratively engage with other students and faculty.
As a central science, a chemistry major can prepare you for graduate study or a career in many fields of the life and physical sciences, medicine, engineering and more. Program Outcomes
