The Department of Biology and Chemistry offers Bachelor of Science degrees in biology, biomedical sciences and chemistry. The Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences has three tracks that meet diverse career aspirations of students: 1) biology and 2) biology teaching (MSUTeach), and 3) biology 4+1 program. The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science has two tracks and is designed for students focused on pursuing professional health careers: 1) biomedical science, and 2) biomedical science 4+1 program. Both the Biological Sciences and Biomedical Sciences programs offer pre-programs in pre-chiropractic, pre-dentistry, pre-medical technology, pre-medicine, pre-pharmacy, pre-physician assistant, pre-physical therapy, and pre-podiatry.
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry has three tracks that meet different career aspirations of students: 1) biomedical chemistry, 2) professional chemist, and 3) chemistry teaching (MSUTeach). Chemistry students interested in pursuing health-related careers, such as pre-pharmacy, pre-medicine, and pre-optometry should pursue the Biomedical Chemistry track of the area in chemistry. Chemistry also offers a major in general chemistry.
The biology, biomedical sciences and chemistry programs are designed to provide a strong foundation for the development of professionals in the specific areas outlined. The student must work closely with his/her advisor to ensure that proper course sequences are followed. The Department of Biology and Chemistry also offers minors in both biology and chemistry.
