Biochemistry Major
Bachelor of Science

1. ACS-Approved Emphasis is designed to prepare students for graduate school in chemistry or biochemistry, medical school, or employment in biomedical sciences.
   Upon completion of this emphasis, students will:
   • Develop an advanced understanding in multiple fields of chemistry and biological
     chemistry.
   • Develop an independent research project, acquire and analyze data, and present
     the results at an off-campus professional meeting.
2. Pre-Health Science / Professional Emphasis provides a mixture of chemistry and biology courses and is designed for students who are interested in biology but want to solidify their understanding of the molecular view of it. Graduates will be prepared for professional school, graduate school, medical school or employment in biological and biomedical sciences.
   Upon completion of this emphasis, students will:
   • Develop an advanced understanding in a particular field of biological chemistry.
   • Develop an advanced understanding of medical biology.
3. Pre-Pharmacy Emphasis is a 3+1 program designed to prepare students for direct admission to a pharmacy program. While this emphasis contains courses required for admission to most Pharmacy Programs in the US during the
   student's first three years, a matriculation agreement with Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFUMS) allows students who are admitted to RFUMS to transfer first year coursework completed at RFUMS back to Carroll and receive a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry with Pre-Pharmacy Emphasis from Carroll University. Students not attending RFUMS may add a fourth year at Carroll to complete a chemistry degree.
