Return to 2002-2003 UGB Menu
Chemistry Major (BS) with a
Concentration in Biochemistry
Return to 2002-2003 UGB Chemistry & Biochemistry Menu


AOS Code: U124

The Concentration in Biochemistry offers students the option to specialize in biochemistry within the curriculum leading to the BS in Chemistry. This concentration is designed to prepare students for graduate training in biochemistry, medicine and related professions, or for employment in biochemistry or biotechnology related industries. The sequence in which the required courses are taken is important, and the student should work closely with a chemistry advisor in planning a schedule.
