Why study Chemistry; Biochemistry Option?

Other Degree Options

Chemistry is often referred to as the central science because of the way that it brings together mathematics, physics and computer science with biology, medicine, environmental science, forensic science, and earth science. It can involve either basic or applied studies in the broad areas of physical, organic, analytical, inorganic, or biochemistry. Understanding chemistry is fundamental to understanding the physical world around us. The Biochemistry Option is recommended for students planning to go directly into professional fields of biochemistry, for students planning to attend graduate school in biochemistry, molecular biology, or pharmacology, and for students planning to enter professional schools such as medicine, veterinary science or pharmacy.
