Undergraduate Program in Biochemistry
The Biochemistry Major provides students with an integrated education in Biochemistry that connects a fundamental understanding of biochemical concepts with their application to biological systems. Students can apply their basic understanding of biochemistry to a specific area of interest, ranging from toxicology /pharmacology, to food and nutritional sciences, microbiology, animal science, and plant biology by selecting a specific track, or take the General option for a broader overview. This redesigned and enhanced curriculum follows the recommendations of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) and has components of both a traditional course-centered approach to teaching and the more current content- and outcome-centered approach. The purpose of the major is to prepare students for futures in science, including advanced degree programs in healthcare, pharmacy, or research and as well as the pharmaceutical, biotechnological and chemical industries, government service, communications, law and many other fields.
