About the Program
The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, B.S. (offered by the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Biochemistry) offers students an interdisciplinary curriculum taught by a diverse range of faculty members. With a curriculum drawing from both disciplines, as well as specific biochemistry courses, the program provides a broad background in the physical and life sciences. It is suitable for students planning careers in laboratory research or further training in graduate, medical or other biomedical professional programs, such as medicine, dentistry and medical technology.
Students take four or five hands-on laboratory courses. They have the opportunity to work on independent research projects and help their mentors with important research. These unique, intensive experiences allow students to sharpen their critical thinking skills and expand their scientific understanding of biological concepts.
