Undergraduate Program - Natural Sciences & Math Disciplines BiochemistryA biochemistry degree is an excellent choice for students wishing to work in university or industrial research, or those choosing to pursue graduate studies in biology, chemistry, medicine, and pharmacology. Classes in this major include:
Graduates of our biology program have a number of career options. You may work in clinical research, industrial technology, or health-related fields. You could pursue a career in pharmaceutical sales, scientific writing or illustration, and medical information. Still others use their undergraduate biology degree as a foundation for professional training in medicine, dentistry, and environmental law. This major also is ideal for education students wishing to teach middle or high school biology. Course highlights include:
Majors in this area and minoring in education can be certified to teach these subjects in Pennsylvania secondary schools. Visit the School of Education for additional majors in secondary education. Chemistry This major prepares you for a variety of scientific careers, including clinical research, quality control, product development, analysis and diagnostics, sales, teaching (with a certification in secondary education), and technical information management. Graduates of our chemistry program have been hired by industrial and pharmaceutical firms, government agencies, healthoriented businesses, educational institutions, and research and publicinterest organizations.

Clinical Laboratory Science (Medical Technology) Medical technologists perform a wide variety of laboratory tests used in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases. You may conduct routine screening for high cholesterol or diabetes or conduct more sophisticated tests that detect the presence of genetic disorders, bacterial infections, and cancer. The clinical laboratory science program at Holy Family prepares you for this interesting field of work. After three years of undergraduate study in science, you will complete your senior year in an accredited hospital program, rotating through principal clinical areas such as chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and immunochematology. After completing the program requirements, you will be qualified to seek professional certification from the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Some of the classes you will take include:
