Overview

The B.S. Biochemistry degree plan is built around core coursework in Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Genetics. Virtually every course includes a laboratory component, providing a rich hands-on experience throughout the curriculum.

All lectures and labs are taught by faculty - no teaching assistants - while small lab sizes (maximum 16-20 students) allow extensive student-faculty interaction. Both Chemistry and Biology faculty participate in the program, teaching courses and providing research opportunities.
