Biochemical Science
A strong background in both biology and chemistry as provided by a degree in biochemical science opens many doors to employment and graduate studies. All individuals pursuing careers in medicine must have a fundamental understanding and background in biochemistry. Opportunities for the biochemical sciences major abound in a variety of areas. The Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemical Science will prepare the student for admission to graduate schools of biology and biochemistry; professional schools of health including cardiopulmonary science, medical technology, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc.; as well as baccalaureate level positions in research, teaching, and sales. Specific areas of specialization include agriculture, biochemistry, cellular biology, genetics, food technology, forestry, industrial and residential pest management, microbiology, and molecular biology.

Biochemical Science is an interdisciplinary curriculum administered by the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Physics to prepare graduates for vocations that utilize chemistry in biological systems. Students interested in graduate studies in biological sciences, chemistry, and related fields should judiciously select electives.

Chemistry
Chemistry, the central science, is an excellent springboard to careers in many specialized areas—from biotechnology and materials science to environmental protection. About 60% of B.S. graduates will work in industries ranging from huge multinational corporations to small entrepreneurial firms with the balance in academic, biomedical, and public sector institutions. Most chemists are involved in either research and development or production of chemicals and materials. Many laboratory chemists perform analyses for biomedical, forensic, environmental, and production quality control purposes. Others are responsible for facility environmental health and product applications.

Physics
A Bachelor of Science degree in Physics offers an excellent starting point for students interested in future graduate studies in physics or engineering, as well as providing a solid foundation for students seeking a career in a variety of laboratory, industrial, or engineering settings. The physics program at LSUS is supported by faculty members with areas of specialization in general physics, computational physics, astrophysics, and electronics. Additional courses are offered in electronics and physics in support of the computer science program, and a secondary education science-physics degree is offered through the College of Education and Human Development.
