Chemistry is often referred to as the "central science" because of its pivotal role in all sciences dealing with matter, including biology, geology, physics, psychology, engineering, and medicine. As a chemistry student, you'll get a fundamental understanding of the structure, transformation and the uses of matter at the molecular level, as well as experimental and theoretical methods of research. As a biochemistry student, you'll explore the chemistry of living systems and the experimental techniques used to understand them as you prepare for medical or dental school, graduate study or a career.
