Biochemistry

Chemistry with a biochemistry concentration is recommended for students interested in attending graduate school in biochemistry or pharmacy school. It is also recommended for students interested in working in the areas of pharmaceutical development and sales, and research chemistry. A biochemistry concentration can help prepare students for careers as lab technicians, product developers, marine biologists, and clinical chemists.
