The physical sciences explore the foundations of our Universe. Eastern's biochemistry major prepares students for careers in the biomedical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical, agricultural research and chemical industries, as well as university-affiliated research laboratories, hospital laboratioies, and govenment-sponsored research facilities. Our physical science minors give students a grounding in science from the subatomic to the entire Cosmos. This can be especially useful for future science teachers.  Our new minor in Astronomy Outreach and Public Presentation will prepare students to work in a public or school planetarium.
