<p>I don’t know all the specifics, but I know some of it. Basically Biochem majors add in bio type classes into the normal chem classes instead of just focusing on the chem classes. You can read some more about each of the options you are looking at Villanova:
[Undergraduate</a> Programs | Villanova University](<a href=“http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/artsci/chemistry/undergrad.html]Undergraduate”>http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/artsci/chemistry/undergrad.html)</p>
<p>Just to let you know, I would say that most of the premed students come from Biology majors so the Biochem path may put you with more of those people. As for jobs available if med school doesn’t happen, there are some listed on the link above. Working as a chemist in the chemical or pharmaceutical industries, Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, forensic science, etc.</p>
<p>Finally, switching majors within the same college is relatively easy. If you are simply an early action candidate, you don’t have to worry because I would guess the first year curriculum may be very similar so you could take your time to decide. If you know you want to switch, email your advisor (when you get one) before you arrive for the schoolyear or try to meet with them during orientation just in case they want to switch your schedule around for first semester.</p>
