Undergraduate Advising Resources

The Biochemistry faculty considers advising students one of its most important duties. Advisers will assist you in the selection of appropriate courses and increase your awareness of career opportunities. The department specializes in advising students interested in careers in science, medicine, dentistry, optometry, veterinary medicine, or pharmacy.

If you have questions about advising, please e-mail Pamela Francis at pamela_francis@ncsu.edu or call 919-515-5683 to set up an appointment with our advising coordinator.
