An accredited professional degree program recognized by the American Chemical Society (when certain criteria are met), designed for students passionate about biology and biochemistry through specialized lecture and lab courses. While many participants aim for medical or dental school, others continue their education in chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science, or similar fields. The Chemistry B.S. curriculum features advanced 400-level courses in general chemistry (CHEM 1410, 1420), organic chemistry (CHEM 2410, 2420), and physical chemistry (CHEM 3410, 3420), including accompanying lab work. Students with exceptional chemistry backgrounds, often through advanced placement, may opt for 800-level courses as equivalents. This Biochemistry-focused Chemistry B.S. program holds accreditation from the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB). Since Spring 2017, graduates have been eligible to take the ASBMB certification exam to obtain an ASBMB-certified degree.

Qualification Requirements
High School Transcripts.
Typically, the most important factor in the admission evaluation process is demonstrated academic achievement in a challenging secondary school program.
The admission committee looks for applicants who have completed the most rigorous academic courses available in their secondary schools and recommends that prospective students should exceed minimum high school graduation requirements. We require an official transcript. The secondary program should include no fewer than 16 academic courses and must include the following courses:
English 4 units
Mathematics 4 units
Foreign Language 2 units
Science (from among biology, chemistry, and physics) 2 units (*)
Social Studies 1 unit
A TOEFL or IELTS score should not be more than two years old. Depending on the school, most admitted graduate students attain a minimum total score of 90 on the internet-based (iBT) TOEFL (including sectional minimums of 22 in speaking, 22 in writing, 23 in reading and 23 in listening). The minimum paper-based TOEFL score requirement is usually 600, and the minimum IELTS score requirement is 7.0.
