Biochemistry

The Biochemistry major allows students to call two departments home — the Department of Biological Sciences and the Department of Chemistry. This partnership results in an interdisciplinary major meeting the needs of students with broad interests in the sciences, or those preparing for a research career in a biomedical field or a clinical career in a health profession. It combines core foundational backgrounds from chemical, biological, and molecular sciences to offer an integrated program focusing on the chemistry and molecular mechanisms of biology.
