Biochemistry
Lower Division Curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry
- Biochemistry, General Track
- Biochemistry, ACS-approved Track
The Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering offers curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in a General Track or Biochemistry in an ACS (American Chemical Society)-approved Track. The General Track provides students with a solid knowledge of Biochemistry, while the ACS-approved Track provides students with the preparation for professional work and for graduate-level studies. The lower division requirements are the same for both tracks.
