Overview

About the program

Open to biology and chemistry majors, the Biochemistry program at College of the Holy Cross expands upon the foundations of these traditional fields of study, preparing you for graduate and medical studies, careers in the biopharmaceutical industry, and other post-graduate endeavors.

The biochemistry concentration offers an interdisciplinary perspective that will place you at the cutting edge of modern science. In addition to the requirements of your major, biochemistry concentrators complete laboratory-based courses from both the biology and the chemistry departments.

The concentration culminates in a yearlong, independent biochemistry research project in the fourth year, where you will gain valuable experience working across disciplines, just as you would in a real-world research setting. Biology and chemistry majors may apply to this competitive concentration in the spring of their second year.
