BA
The foundation of every living thing.
Why do we need sleep? How does dementia take hold? Is there chemistry behind true love?
Biochemistry combines biology, chemistry, environmental science, medicine, and mathematics to explore and understand the inner workings of life.
Decoding the mechanics behind existence can lead to open doors, great careers, and life-changing solutions.
Fascinated with the inner workings of living organisms? Maybe you want to be a neuroscientist, a clinical researcher, or a biotech engineer. Or maybe you simply want to know why ice cream can give you a headache, not just that it does.
Prepare for future study in medicine, dentistry, and other allied health professions or employment in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and other biomedical areas.
No matter your question, the answer can likely be found here.
