Department of Biochemistry & Chemistry

 

About the Department


Our biochemistry and chemistry students work very closely with the faculty and their peers on relevant scientific questions in our new, state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. Our innovative curriculum, which emphasizes research, communication, and community, effectively prepares students for success in their careers.

All biochemistry and chemistry majors complete a hands-on, mentored research experience and/or internship and present the results of their research in professional settings. These experiences, when combined with our innovative curriculum, prepare students for success after graduation, whether they go on to work in industry or to further their education in graduate school or medical school or another professional health school.
