 Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

             A biochemistry/molecular chemistry major can serve as a foundation for a variety of careers. Students who plan to do research and teach at the college or university level enter Ph.D. programs in such areas as biophysics, biochemistry, and cell and molecular biology. Others choose careers in medicine, veterinary work, dentistry, or other health-related fields after further study at the appropriate professional schools. Still others use their undergraduate biochemistry degrees to find jobs in biotechnology, food science, pharmaceuticals, or to pursue opportunities with nonprofit research organizations or government agencies. Whether they continue in science or not, students have found the biochemistry major to be an excellent pathway for developing critical thinking skills, as well as oral and written communication skills.
