生物化学理学学士-药学前

该浓度增加了生理学，微生物学，免疫学和公众演讲方面的附加课程，增加了一般生物化学的浓度。这种集中力满足了大多数药房学校录取的先决条件课程。这也是从事医疗技术人员职业的适当集中。生物化学专业为学生提供了生物学，物理和数学科学方面强大而均衡的背景。作为生物化学专业，研究包括大分子结构和功能，细胞生物化学，代谢，基因表达，DNA和蛋白质结构，DNA复制和修复，细胞组织，交流，生长，衰老和死亡。还要求学生修读物理，有机化学，统计测量和研究方法等课程。独立学习和实习（通常在初中和高年级，但可能在新生一年开始）为体验
Biochemistry is fundamental and essential to the life sciences, especially the health professions, and is one of the frontier areas for the physical sciences and engineering. As a discipline, biochemistry and molecular biology evolved from the application of the principles of organic and physical chemistry to the characterization of the metabolites and macromolecules that are found throughout the biological world. This approach has led to an understanding of the structural components of cells, of metabolic and regulatory processes, of the mechanism of enzymatic catalysis, and energy transduction and of the molecular events associated with gene expression and cellular replication. The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has developed faculty expertise and the supporting resource facilities to instruct students in three major areas of biochemistry and molecular biology: the structure and function of macromolecules, cellular biochemistry, and molecular gene expression. Such training develops the skills necessary to pursue careers in biological and biomedical research or in biotechnology.<br>This concentration augments the extensive Biochemistry core with additional coursework in physiology, microbiology, immunology, and public speaking, by requiring an additional 21 credits of concentration-specific coursework leaving a total of 5 free electives. This concentration fulfills the prerequisite courses for admission to most pharmacy schools. It is also an appropriate concentration for a career as a medical technician.
