Biology-Chemistry B.S.

The interdepartmental major in Biology-Chemistry has been designed for those students whose academic needs and interests include both biology and chemistry. The major was instituted because a large segment of contemporary scientific investigation lies at the intersection of these two fields. Areas well served by this preparation include  medicine, dentistry, and graduate disciplines such as biochemistry, physiology, and molecular biology. This major  earns a Bachelor of Science degree.
