Chemistry explores the nature of substances and their changes, ranging from atomic and subatomic levels to complex biological molecules that sustain life. Known as the foundational science, it intersects with various STEM fields like physics, biology, medicine, environmental studies, earth sciences, mathematics, materials engineering, technology, and more. Pursuing a Chemistry or Biochemistry degree opens doors to diverse rewarding careers focused on scientific discovery and application. Today's chemistry integrates computational analysis with laboratory techniques, employing safer and more sustainable methods than ever before. Studying chemistry also develops analytical reasoning abilities applicable across professions.
These academic requirements may undergo periodic updates by the department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences maintains discretion to adjust policies as needed for individual circumstances. Consequently, students are strongly encouraged to meet frequently with their Biochemistry program advisor to verify optimal course selections before completing their academic plans.
