生物化学理学学士

化学系提供了通往生物化学理学学士学位的选择。生物化学是对生命系统化学的研究。因此，它适合化学和生物学的传统领域，生物化学家必须在这两个领域都接受过良好的培训。生化研究包括与构成生命系统的物质的形成和分解有关的化学过程，以及与运动，信号传递和生物繁殖有关的过程。对生物化学过程的了解有助于使用重组DNA技术生产新药和农产品。生物化学是化学领域的最新分支。在过去的30年中，它取得了巨大的增长。仍然活着的人已经掌握了大多数生化知识。生物化学的研究导致人们对生活系统的多样性以及各种生物中代谢过程的相似性产生了赞赏。
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree program provides graduates a wide range of career opportunities. Graduates of the B.S. in Chemistry who complete either the general Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Pharmacy options find employment in industry, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. Types of work include basic research, applied research, analytical services, product development, marketing and sales, and manufacturing. Persons who wish to become professional chemists should select the Chemistry option or the Chemistry option certified by the American Chemical Society. Persons desiring to become practicing biochemists should select the Biochemistry option or the Biochemistry option certified by the American Chemical Society. Both are recommended for students wishing to enter graduate school or seek employment in the chemical industry immediately upon graduation. The Pharmacy option targets those students who seek a career as a pharmacist (Pharm.D.) or pharmacologist (Ph.D.) but would also benefit students who wish to work in the pharmaceutical or biotech industries at the B.S. or M.S. level. The Pharmacy option is also useful to those students who are seeking careers in forensic pharmacology, pharmaceutical sales, or as certified pharmacy technicians, pharmacy assistants, and other healthcare professionals. The Science/ChemistryTeacher Education option is designed to prepare students to become licensed to teach high school science with a specialization in Chemistry.
