I am a sophomore (or junior) and just realized I want to major in Biochemistry.  Is it too late?

While we recommend that first year students take courses in biology and chemistry, some students don’t realize their interest in biochemistry until later.  In fact, a few students have completed the major after taking essentially no courses in these areas during their first year.  Starting late often doesn’t require as heavy of a courseload as you might expect, and we would definitely encourage you to talk with the program directors or a member of the advisory committee to figure out a feasible plan to complete the major.  The biochemistry minor might also be a viable option for students who discover their passion for biochemistry later in their college careers and might also want to major in another field.
