Biochemistry
Major
Biochemistry
is the study of the molecules and reactions that occur in living things.
Lyon's biochemistry program provides a strong interdisciplinary education
in the chemical and biological sciences, culminating in two semesters of
biochemistry. The B.S. degree in biochemistry is excellent preparation
for work in the expanding biotechnology industry, or for postgraduate education
aimed at an advanced degree
in the
sciences, medicine, or other health professions.
Due to
the substantial overlap with biology and chemistry, courses used to meet
the requirement for a degree in biochemistry will not be permitted to apply
to majors or minors in those disciplines.
