Depends on the school. Count each of the following courses or credits:

A. Required for biochemistry.
B. Required for international relations, not overlapping with biochemistry.
C. Breadth requirements not fulfilled by A or B.

Add them all together. If the total is significantly greater than the number of courses or credits needed to graduate, you are more likely to have to take extra terms if you do not want to take overloads.

If you are pre-med, it is not required to major in biology or biochemistry; you can take the pre-med courses alongside any major.
