Overview

Be part of the front lines in battling illness and infection by discovering how diseases work and conducting research to find a cure — or by helping your patients understand and take care of their health.

You’ll start by studying the basics: cellular processes at the molecular level, and how cells work together to promote growth or fight illness. Learn about experimental disciplines that use chemical knowledge to solve biological problems with the Biochemistry program of St. Edward's University. Forge relationships with faculty mentors who want to see you succeed, and take advantage of opportunities to work in their labs.

You’ll have the chance to conduct graduate-level research as an undergraduate, present your findings at conferences and submit your work for publication. Your St. Edward’s education will prepare you for medical or dental school or for a graduate program in chemistry, biochemistry or pharmacology, and your mentors will support you every step of the way.
