We recommend the Biochemistry option of the Chemistry degree for students
considering a career in the allied health fields. Biochemistry is a required
first year course in all allied health disciplines, and having a strong
background in Biochemistry will ease the transition into the rigors of medical
or dental school.
The following tables outline the required courses for a BS with Biochemistry
Option. Requirements are very similar to the BS degree, but the programs differ
in the number of biochemistry and biology courses taken during the junior and
senior years.

* In order to fulfill the requirements for an ACS certified degree, enough
laboratory work must be performed to bring the total amount of time in the
laboratory for the four years to 500 hours. Therefore in addition to the
biochemistry methods lab (2 credits, 6 hours per week) it is necessary to take
an additional chemistry laboratory course or a semester of undergraduate
research.
