COURSE CURRICULUM

The Biochemistry major offers several concentrations that allow students to specialize in areas aligned with their academic interests and career goals while gaining deeper knowledge and practical experience. These concentrations provide opportunities to build expertise, engage in hands-on learning, and prepare for specific professional or graduate pathways. By choosing a concentration, students can tailor their education to match their future ambitions in science, healthcare, or research.The ASBMB Biochemistry concentration provides a broad and rigorous foundation in biochemistry and is especially suited for students interested in careers in teaching or scientific research. Graduates from this track benefit from completing a program aligned with standards set by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, which can strengthen their academic and professional profiles. The Data Science concentration combines biochemistry with molecular genetics, cell biology, computer science, mathematics, and statistics. This interdisciplinary approach prepares students to work with large biological data sets, developing skills in data organization, analysis, and communication for careers in life-science data analysis.The Health and Medical Sciences concentration focuses on preparing students for careers in healthcare. In addition to core biochemistry studies, students learn about anatomy, physiology, and the biochemical basis of diseases, and gain practical experience through medical internships. The Pre-pharmacy concentration is designed for students planning to attend pharmacy school, offering coursework in physiology, microbiology, immunology, and communication skills alongside core biochemistry. Overall, these concentrations provide diverse pathways that equip students with the specialized knowledge and skills needed for careers in science, medicine, and related fields.
