<p>At Berkeley, biochemistry can either be done in chemical biology (under the College of Chemistry) or molecular and cell biology (under the College of Letters and Science). Molecular and cell biology is one of two large biology departments that are the results of mergers of numerous smaller biology department. The former biochemistry department and major became part of molecular and cell biology.</p>
<p>Chemical biology requires additional math, and has a greater emphasis on chemistry versus biology. Chemical biology is a very small major, while molecular and cell biology is the largest undergraduate major at Berkeley.</p>

<p>Note that biology, chemistry, and biochemistry majors do not have particularly good job and career prospects at the bachelor’s degree level.
