Biochemistry Major
The Biochemistry Major at CMU offers an excellent preparation for students interested in pursuing careers in medical fields (e.g., pre-medicine, pre-dental, pre-veterinary, and pharmacy careers), as well as careers in forensics and Biotechnology, even graduate schools in Biochemistry and other Life Sciences.
Chemistry:
The Study of Chemistry provides a wide variety of opportunities for students with career interests in the sciences or related professional areas and for students in non-science areas who wish to obtain some understanding of the impact of the chemical sciences on modern society. As appropriate, a student may prepare for graduate work in chemistry; prepare for graduate work in a related area such as pharmacology, polymer science, chemical engineering, molecular biology, business or computer science; prepare for entry into an industrial chemistry position in research of other areas; prepare for entry into a professional program in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, optometry, medical technology or the law; prepare to become a teacher of chemistry or the sciences; or earn a general liberal arts undergraduate degree with a major in chemistry. Many minor programs in chemistry also are available for students needing a concentration in chemistry to support a particular major or degree. In addition, a variety of service courses are provided for other degree programs within the university.
