Description
Trying to choose between bio and chem? Why not both? This major is for people who want to understand the chemistry behind biological processes, so you can do things like look for the causes of Alzheimer’s disease, develop more efficient crops and understand the impact of viruses like COVID-19. Whether you’re thinking about going to med school or dental school, or you want to start your career right after graduation, a biochemistry degree from UB will help set you apart.
