化学和生物化学理学学士-生物化学（医学预科课程）

化学与生物化学系提供的课程均获得美国化学学会的认证，并且侧重于本科和研究生两级的化学和生物化学领域。化学理学学士学位课程为化学基础教育提供了足够的广度和灵活性，使学生能够从事与化学相关的各种职业。提供了几种课程选择，每种课程都是职业和就业指导的。就业机会广泛。例如，美国至少有36％的研发人员拥有化学学位，比其他任何学科都多。不同的选择允许学生在课程选择中强调他或她的个人选择。该选项包括化学，生物化学和生物学课程的核心，面向对生物材料的分子性质和生命过程感兴趣的学生。生物科学选修课的选择范围广泛，使学生可以
This option mimics the Biochemistry option with biological and science electives specifically tailored to those looking to prepare for medical, dental, or veterinary school.<br>The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers programs that are certified by the American Chemical Society and that emphasize modern areas in chemistry and biochemistry at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The curriculum for the Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry provides basic education in chemistry with sufficient breadth and flexibility to allow students to enter a variety of chemistry-related careers. Several curricular options are available, each of which is career- and employment-directed. Employment opportunities are extensive. For example, at least 36 percent of the research and development workforce in the United States have degrees in chemistry, more than any other discipline. The different options allow the student to emphasize his or her personal choices in course selection. This option includes a core of chemistry, biochemistry, and biology courses for students interested in the molecular nature of biological materials and life processes. A broad choice of biological science electives allow the students to prepare for careers in human, animal, plant, or microbial biochemistry. Trained biochemical scientists are in demand for research and teaching in universities and for research and development work in chemical, pharmaceutical, and bio-technical industries, in medical laboratories, and in state and federal governments. Students who complete the curriculum satisfactorily will be prepared to assume responsible professional positions or undertake graduate level work in the life sciences. The curriculum also provides an excellent preparation for medical, dental, or veterinary school.
