Degrees and Requirements

Biochemistry

A major in Biochemistry is meant to prepare students for graduate studies in Chemistry or Biochemistry, for admission to a professional school such as medical school or pharmacy school, or employment in the biotechnology sector.

REQUIREMENTS:  To successfully complete the Biochemistry major, the following coursework is required:

• 78 credits as listed under “Major Component/Requirements” (59 Chemistry/ Biology Component credits, 2 in seminar; and 19 Science Component Credits)
• 37 CORE credits
• 5 General Elective Credits
• A minimum number of 120 credits are required for degree, the last 30 of which, and 50% of the major, must be earned at La Roche University. (Developmental course work does not count toward the minimum number of required credits for graduation.)
