Chemistry majors like you study materials and energy at the atomic scale and how they affect living systems. We apply that knowledge to solve real-world problems by making new materials and through a better understanding of the world around us. As a biochemist, you will problem solve and contribute to the greater good of society through research and discovery. Graduating students earn a Chemistry BS (Biochemistry option) degree that is certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This prepares you for biochemistry graduate school and for employment in industry or government agencies.
