Overview
Inquisitive and curious students who are ready to find answers by practicing science find their home in the biochemistry program. Our students gain a solid foundation in analytical, organic and physical chemistry, and we help students examine the central roles that chemistry plays in biology and the global environment.
Our students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in fields where women are still underrepresented, and they gain the opportunity to explore options such as graduate school, medical school or employment in the industrial and non-profit sectors.
