该专业旨在为打算进修研究生，进入与健康相关的专业学校，从事中学教学职业以及填补私人，州和联邦实验室或制药和生物技术行业的入门级职位的学生做好准备。本科课程提供生物学，化学，遗传学，细胞生物学和生物化学的基础知识，而数学和物理课程则是对这一广泛领域的深入理解所必需的。学生不得在生物化学，生物学和药理学专业之间宣布双重专业。
The Biochemistry Undergraduate Major Program provides a challenging and exciting introduction to the chemical basis of biological phenomena. The major is designed to prepare students who intend to pursue graduate study, attend health-related professional schools, pursue secondary school teaching careers, and fill entry-level positions in private, state, and federal laboratories or in pharmaceutical and biotechnical industries. The undergraduate curriculum provides a fundamental background in biology, chemistry, genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry, with courses in mathematics and physics necessary for advanced understanding of this broad field. Students may not declare a double major among biochemistry, biology, and pharmacology majors.
