 Return to: College of Arts and Sciences
The Bachelor of Arts with a major in biochemistry prepares you for complex research or a teaching career, or it can save you time and money in medical school.
The Bachelor of Arts with a major in biochemistry allows a less structured curriculum with more elective options than the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. Further, it serves as an excellent degree program for those who wish to teach sciences at the high school level in the areas of biochemistry, chemistry and biology. Additionally, the program serves well those who wish to go into medicine, dentistry or other biologically related professional programs of study.
