B.S. Degree in Chemistry with Biochemistry Emphasis

For students especially interested in biochemistry, a modified set of requirements leads to the B.S. degree. All of the B.S. degree programs make it possible to use the first quarter of the senior year to study abroad. Click here for a sample schedule. Note that Chem 141 and 143 can be used in partial satisfaction of the requirements for a biotechnology minor.
