Welcome to the Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the best of both worlds! It allows a student to combine knowledge of both chemistry and biology of life processes at the molecular level. At MTSU, you'll build a strong background in the traditional areas of chemistry that overlap with molecular biology — organic and biochemistry, along with the more quantitative areas of analytical, and physical chemistry. A degree in biochemistry prepares students to think critically and creatively as effective problem solvers. Biochemistry graduates can continue on to graduate or professional school or find immediate employment in a wide variety of high-demand fields. These fields include health professions (e.g. medical, dental, pharmacy), pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry; or biomedical testing.

Career Path

A study of Biochemistry can pave the way to a diverse range of careers in both public and private sectors, in and out of the lab. Examples include Acquisition logistics manager, Assistant scientist, Biochemist, Business process analyst, Environmental consultant, Intellectual property advisor, Laboratory technician, Patent examiner, Quality assurance manager, Research assistant.
