该系为学生提供了获得生物化学专业学士学位的机会。下表显示了建议的必修课程顺序。学生必须完成至少六个小时的监督研究才能获得ACS认证。不遵循正常课程顺序的考生应尽早咨询顾问。候选人在会议上与顾问选择了通用领域要求或选修课，他们必须包括符合大学其他要求的课程。学位候选人必须完成，其平均绩点至少为2.000，至少需要120学分，包括必修课程，一般区域要求和选修课。学生还必须满足所有其他大学学位要求。
A professional degree that can be certified by the American Chemical Society (if specific requirements are satisfied) and caters to students having a strong interest in biology and biological chemistry by incorporating biologically-related lecture and laboratory courses. Many students in this program plan to attend medical or dental school, but a significant fraction pursue graduate study in chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science, or related areas. The B.S. in Chemistry is characterized by 400-track courses in general chemistry (CHEM 1410, 1420), organic chemistry (CHEM 2410, 2420), and physical chemistry (CHEM 3410, 3420), along with their associated laboratories. An 800-track chemistry course is an acceptable substitute for a corresponding 400-track course and is recommended for students with a particularly strong background in chemistry, usually with advanced placement in chemistry. The B.S. Chemistry degree with specialization in Biochemistry has been accredited by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB). Beginning in Spring 2017, graduating students can take the ASBMB certification exam to earn an ASBMB certified degree.
