      Associate of Science Programs in Biochemistry

      Those who wish to earn a post-secondary degree but lack the time or desire to spend four years pursuing one may want to consider an associate degree. It can be completed in about two years.

      What is an Associate of Science in Biochemistry? This branch of science combines chemistry and biology. It is the application of chemistry to the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. Therefore, the program provides students with a foundation in chemistry and biology built upon an appreciation of how these sciences are integrated. The curriculum typically consists of courses such as principles of biology, general microbiology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, physics and genetics.

      Expertise in chemical theory and principles may help graduates make informed decisions during work projects, critical thinking and problem-solving ability can help them become leaders among colleagues, and strong writing and presentation skills may aid them in communicating the value of their work.

      It is important to obtain a customized estimate of anticipated fees when considering education options, as the cost of earning an Associate of Science in Biochemistry depends on variables such as school tuition and location.

      Biochemists can work in an office or lab, making this occupation suitable for either preference. Academic positions usually require rigorous research and can involve educating undergraduate and graduate students. Those who work for a biotech or pharmaceutical company often find themselves on the cutting edge of the latest discoveries. Job titles include healthcare scientist, physician associate, clinical research associate, toxicologist, scientific laboratory technician, biomedical scientist, analytical chemist, science writer and quality manager. Regardless of job title or specialty, biochemists have been the driving force behind many scientific breakthroughs that have made an impact on numerous areas of science.
