Biochemistry stands as an ideal academic path for students excelling in mathematics while harboring a passion for both Biology and Chemistry.
At Lewis University, biochemistry majors engage in classroom and lab environments to explore how organisms derive energy from nutrients, the molecular foundations of inheritance, and essential chemical transformations in disease processes. This degree serves as excellent groundwork for medical and pharmaceutical careers, enabling graduates to make significant impacts by combating diseases and developing innovations that enhance living standards, such as:
Food Science - investigate methods to produce and maintain affordable, nutritious food supplies
Agriculture - examine how herbicides affect plants and ecosystems
Medical Pharmacology - contribute to pharmaceutical advancements and analyze medication effects
Numerous graduates continue their education in biochemistry, molecular biology, forensic science, or teaching credentials. The Bachelor of Arts program particularly suits students not planning advanced graduate studies for their career objectives.
