This is a vital scientific field that prepares students for diverse career paths. Biochemistry students explore living systems while also understanding the nature of chemical interactions, offering insight into how chemical processes affect living organisms.
Dr. Julie Mach, Chair/Associate Professor of Chemistry
Gain an understanding of how biochemistry relates to real-world issues, such as the environment and ethics in science, preparing you to engage thoughtfully with the broader impact of your work.
Students will be able to effectively communicate scientific ideas, both in writing and in presentations. You’ll also benefit from practical experience through internships and research projects.
Graduates of this program will have a strong understanding of chemical and biological principles and be skilled in using modern lab equipment to gather and analyze experimental data.
Students will be well prepared for graduate school, health professions programs, and careers such as neuroscientist, environmental biochemist, molecular biologist, vaccinologist, aquatic biochemist, scientific writer, toxicologist, public health officer, food scientist, pharmacologist, agricultural biochemist, genetic counselor, bioinformatics specialist, science policy analyst, and more.
