Hey, I’m a freshman whose major is biochem/chem right now. It’s not bad so far but it’s not really a biochemistry major per say. All your major requirements are basically chemistry courses so it’s basically a chemistry degree.

I was actually considering switching into the bioengineering program. Just so you know- if you want to get in that major you need to take about 10 courses and then apply fall during your sophomore year. Only the top 10 (not percent. top 10 people) current students who apply get in every year so it is competitive. But you can do it. My advice to you is to talk to an adviser in that department early if you are even thinking about applying to the bioengineering program.
