Biochemistry explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It combines biology and chemistry using chemical knowledge and techniques to solve biological problems.
Students who pursue a Biochemistry degree at the Rockhurst University will develop the ability to think in an integrated manner and to look at problems from different perspectives. Additionally, they will learn the theory and application of the techniques of modern experimental biochemistry.
Upon completion, students in the biochemistry major will be able to engage in evaluative and critical thinking across the disciplines of chemistry and biology and integrate these disciplines into their chosen career paths or medical, professional and graduate educations.
Students entering the biochemistry degree will meet with an advisor from either the biology or chemistry departments to plan a curriculum tailored to their postgraduate aspirations and to help select the appropriate biology and chemistry courses.
The interdisciplinary nature of biochemistry requires that students study both biology and chemistry in order to understand the molecular processes of life. The biochemistry major is designed to meet the needs of students interested in this interdisciplinary subject.This biochemistry degree program follows guidelines suggested by the American Chemical Society and the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for an undergraduate biochemistry degree.
