The Biochemistry with Clinical Pharmacology Option is a collaborative approach to the biochemistry major and pre-pharmacy students where the clinical pharmacology addition would enhance their preparation for pharmacy school. This collaboration is between the College of Letters and Science and the College of Health Science. This option in addition to the major reflects the need to accommodate for credits in clinical pharmacology and the requirements for pharmacy school.
