BA/BS in Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology

Biochemistry combines biology and chemistry to study the chemical processes inside living organisms. Graduates may move into genetics, medicine, microbiology, or forensics, and often work alongside engineers, physicists, and policy makers. The program prepares students for graduate school, medical school, or careers in pharmaceutical and clinical fields. The program is lab-based and research-focused, with a student-to-faculty ratio below 6:1 that lets students work closely with professors. The first years focus on foundational general and organic chemistry courses. Physics and mathematics round out the foundation, followed by advanced biology and biochemistry. Undergraduate research is strongly encouraged, and many students share findings at local and national gatherings. Students work in modern labs alongside their professors, building the experience needed for graduate study.
