Typical pay: Informational only. BLS reports a 2024 median wage of $103,650 for biochemists and biophysicists; independent research roles in this occupation typically require a doctoral degree.
A Biochemistry major sits between biology and chemistry, covering the molecular basis of life: proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, metabolism, and the regulation of cellular processes. Programs require a full general and organic chemistry sequence, biology, physics, calculus, and often physical chemistry and molecular biology, paired with extensive laboratory work in techniques such as protein purification, enzyme kinetics, spectroscopy, and molecular cloning. The degree is most often a bachelor's, and many programs culminate in a senior research thesis.
Biochemistry graduates work in research labs, biotechnology, pharmaceutical R&D, and clinical and diagnostic settings, and the major is a common feeder into PhD programs and medical school. Independent research roles in this field typically require a graduate degree: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics lists a doctoral degree as the typical entry-level education for biochemists and biophysicists, and reports a 2024 median wage of $103,650 for that occupation, with projected employment growth of 5.8% from 2024 to 2034.
