Biochemistry
Overview
The Biochemistry major provides the student with an opportunity to study
biochemistry as a part of a liberal arts program. Due to the interdisciplinary
nature of biochemistry, this is one of the more versatile majors in the natural
sciences. It prepares a student for graduate work in biochemistry as well as
many areas of chemistry or biology. Also, the minimum requirements of most all
medical, dental, veterinary, and pharmacy schools are met by a major in
biochemistry. The science and mathematics program at King College has been
ranked by Peterson’s Guides as one of the top 200 in the country.

Biochemistry as a part of a liberal arts program. Due to the interdisciplinary
nature of Biochemistry, this is one of the more versatile majors in the natural
sciences. It prepares a student for graduate work in Biochemistry as well as
many areas of Chemistry or Biology. In addition, the minimum requirements of
almost all medical, dental, veterinary, and pharmacy schools are met by a major
in biochemistry. It is valuable for those students who seek careers in the
biotechnology industry, pharmaceutical industry, government, and science-based
sales and marketing.
Due to the large number of courses that Biochemistry shares in common with
Biology and Chemistry, a student cannot simultaneously major in Biochemistry and
major (or minor) in either Biology or Chemistry.
