BA in Biological Chemistry in Hanover United States | Dartmouth College

The Chemistry Department is thrilled you're drawn to the stimulating challenges of our discipline and eagerly anticipates assisting you in crafting a customized major plan. We provide four distinct major pathways (outlined below), along with a modified major option, offering significant flexibility in academic planning. Many of our chemistry tracks allow students to avoid taking two major courses simultaneously. Our department features four specialized programs: Plan A delivers comprehensive chemistry training for those seeking depth in the field, while Plan B caters to students with interdisciplinary scientific interests. We also offer a biophysical chemistry major for those applying physical chemistry principles to biological systems, and a biological chemistry major focused on chemical processes in living organisms. The modified major parallels Plan B while incorporating coursework from another department. Specifically, the biological chemistry major prepares students for graduate studies in biochemistry and biomedical fields, while also serving premedical students exceptionally well.
