Majoring in Applied Biochemistry
The Applied Biochemistry Major is intended for students who want a diverse range of courses in addition to a solid foundation in the chemical processes that govern life. Take biology classes to prepare you for Physician Assistant school, or take the other science classes required to earn your high school chemistry teacher certification. You can even add a minor in writing or communication and get a job explaining science to a more general audience.
