The Bachelor of Science Degree in Biochemistry focuses on the chemical compounds and processes that occur in plants, animals, and microorganisms, with a primary focus on the biochemistry of the human body. This specialization equips you with a strong foundation in biochemistry while also providing the flexibility to cultivate your interests in allied fields (e.g., microbiology, food science, and chemistry). An undergraduate degree in biochemistry is particularly appropriate if you anticipate a professional career in the health sciences or research.
