Program Description:

The B.S. program in Biochemistry provides a strong foundation in both molecular biology and in chemistry, and is based on faculty, facilities, and research resources in both the Department of Biomolecular Sciences and the Department of Chemistry. In addition to in-class laboratory instruction, this interdepartmental program emphasizes independent student research carried out under the guidance of a faculty member from either department. This program is designed to prepare students for careers or advanced study in molecular biology, biochemistry, or health-related fields.

Faculty in this Interdisciplinary Degree Program include: J.V. Arena, T. Burkholder, G. Crundwell, M.A. Davis, N.M. Glagovich, Z. He, B. Hoopengardner, C.A. Jones, M.A. Kapper, T.R. King, K.A. Martin-Troy, J.P. Mulrooney, C.L. Watson, B.L. Westcott, Jr.

Career Outcomes:

This program offers a curricular focus on molecular and cellular mechanisms that is integrated with organismal physiology and emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory instruction and independent student research. This degree is appropriate for students wishing to prepare for graduate study in such areas as genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, or cell physiology.
