Biochemistry, BA

The Bachelor of Arts with a major in Biochemistry is a four-year major designed to prepare students to teach sciences at the high school level in the areas of biochemistry, chemistry and biology. Additionally, the program serves well those who wish to go into medicine, dentistry or other biologically related professional programs of study. The program includes advanced coursework in biochemistry, associated credits in biology, physics, and mathematics, plus fulfillment of university and college core curriculum requirements. The BA allows a less structured curriculum with more elective options than the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry.
