The B.A. major in biochemistry is primarily intended for students planning to enter professional schools such as medicine, dentistry, or law, but it also offers great preparation for careers in business, scientific writing, or teaching. The B.A. major offers flexibility, preparing students for careers outside the laboratory such as medical school, dental school, or non-traditional careers in chemistry. Biochemistry studies the chemical processes of living organisms, bringing together biology and chemistry to understand and solve biological problems.
