There are two majors available within the chemistry department ? chemistry and biochemistry. Both equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to secure careers in industry, research or education. The biochemistry major is very popular with pre-medicine students because its requirements include the courses needed for successfully applying to medical schools. Berry?s chemistry department is one of a select few in Georgia to be approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS). As a result, the ACS-accredited degrees can be especially helpful for those students who plan to pursue master?s and doctoral degrees in graduate school.
