Undergraduate students interested in these areas should take relevant courses in the biochemical division of the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics. The department serves undergraduate students who are interested in biochemical research or health-related careers. It offers a series of undergraduate biochemistry classes, research opportunities, and counseling to students taking premedical, predental, prenursing, prepharmacy, or public health curricula.
