| Scope of the program | Opportunities for employment in biotechnology, toxicology, clinical chemistry, animal research, and other fields are available to biochemists worldwide. A biochemistry degree can also be a springboard for postgraduate work or a career in medicine, pharmacy, education, veterinary medicine, or law. |
| Program entry requirement | Calculus and mathematics from the academic board exams for the 12th grade can be used separately as authorized subjects. Only the honors streams in biochemistry, ecology, plant biology, zoology, and cellular, molecular, and microbial biology are open to students applying straight out of high school. Students in high school who wish to pursue one of these majors in a non-honors program should apply to Biological Sciences or another science major and then request a change of program to the desired major at a later time. While some high school courses are not necessary for entrance, they may serve as requirements for first-year courses; students are advised to select classes relating to their planned major. The admittance average can only be computed using one of the following: art, dance, drama, or music. |
