Overview

With the entrance into the 21st century, it is increasingly apparent that distinctions between the sciences are becoming blurred.

The Biochemistry major at Allegheny College is part of an interdisciplinary program primarily supported by faculty from the biology and chemistry departments. The major requires a group of courses from the biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics departments.

The junior seminar offers students the chance to specialize within the major, applying their knowledge from the introductory and upper-level courses to a specific sub-discipline. In addition, the in-depth exposure to scientific literature and assignments emphasizing scientific communication form an important bridge to the senior project. The required senior project is a two-semester, laboratory-based, independent project that is ultimately defended before an interdisciplinary faculty committee.

Biochemistry Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete a major in Biochemistry are expected to be able to:

Demonstrate a broad knowledge of the fundamental introductory concepts of Chemistry, Biology and Physics;
Demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the intersection between the disciplines of Biology and Chemistry;
Demonstrate a proficiency in developing relevant biochemical questions, carrying out laboratory investigations to answer those questions, and critically analyzing, interpreting, and presenting in oral and written form the results of their experiments;
Locate, critically analyze, interpret, and discuss data, hypotheses, results, theories, and explanations found in the primary literature, applying knowledge from Chemistry and Biology;
Appreciate the way in which practitioners in the disciplines of Biology and Chemistry intersect and bring their expertise to bear in solving complex problems involving living systems;
