A Biochemistry degree opens many opportunities for you! You can attend medical school, dental school, graduate school, law school or work in a lab.
I’m interested in being a pharmacist. Should I study biochemistry?
Yes, but we recommend you complete the Biochemistry: Pre-Pharmacy degree plan. It was created for students planning to attend pharmacy school upon graduation.
Why are there two degree plans?
We've made several small revisions to the degree plan to help make the degree more flexible for our students. Generally speaking, you graduate under the catalog you matriculated under. Speak to your advisor for details.
