Biochemistry Undergraduate Program

Our biochemistry program provides students with plenty of flexibility. We offer B.A., B.S., and a five-year accelerated B.S./M.S. degree. Students can choose from multiple degree tracks optimized for different career paths. Our popular medical biochemistry track is designed for students who plan careers in healthcare (pre-medical, pre-veterinary, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, or pre-nursing). To learn more about what degree track is best for you, talk with our biochemistry advisor, Devon Hoffman-Colburn.

K-State's biochemistry graduates enjoy a 97% placement rate in either a career or graduate/professional school within six months of graduation.

A bachelor's degree in biochemistry provides a strong foundation for many different career paths. Learn more about careers in biochemistry at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Professional Development website.
