The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology is a cross-disciplinary program combining theoretical knowledge with practical chemical applications. This curriculum equips students for advanced academic pursuits or dynamic careers in science. Biochemistry explores the chemical reactions within living systems.
Practicing biochemists perform laboratory research, examining data to understand how nutrients and pharmaceuticals interact with biological systems. These skilled professionals create diagnostic tools for illnesses such as influenza or malignancies, while also pioneering therapeutic medications. Chemical biology investigates biological mechanisms through chemical synthesis. Unlike biochemistry, it focuses on applying chemical principles to biological contexts. Choosing this dual major provides comprehensive training in analyzing chemical interactions within living organisms and modifying biological systems through chemical approaches.

Qualification Requirements
International applicants must complete the equivalent of a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree, including all state and external/internal examinations required for the degree. Some three-year general degrees (from Canada, India, Pakistan, France, Lebanon, etc.) may not be equivalent to a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree. However, if you have completed an honors degree, additional undergraduate coursework beyond the three-year bachelor's degree, or a graduate degree, you may be considered for admission. As an international student, you are required to meet the university's English proficiency requirements for Undergraduate Admissions. Minimum scores of 79-80 TOEFL iBT and IELTS 6.5 are required for admission to Wayne State. If your native language is not English but you have been instructed in the English language, you are not necessarily exempt from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the Test of Written English (TWE) and the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) requirements.
