Biochemistry

Seek explanations of the natural world’s magic tricks — how trees convert sunlight into a feast; how a prescribed drug reverses a deadly illness; how genes can help prevent disease.

Congratulations to one of our seniors, Madison Meldrum, as she heads to grad school!
Congratulations to one of our seniors, Sreye Roy, as she heads to her internship with the Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in Taiwan!
Don't wait for lab experience. Get into our labs starting your first year. Seriously.
Faculty such as professor Audra Goach will be your supporter from your first year to writing your grad school reference letter. We've got you.

By learning how to apply chemical principles to biological systems, our biochemistry majors receive excellent preparation for professional schools in health-related fields, industry jobs and graduate programs.

Students get hands-on opportunities through our well-supported research programs – which allows them to explore their interests through a variety of projects.

Our students learn to use scientific literature and communicate scientific information effectively. (Think lead-scientist status, not just another scientist.) Many biochemistry majors also pursue minors in fields such as Global Public Health. Biochemistry is offered as a bachelor of science degree.
