• The biochemistry major blends chemistry and biology so students can understand biological systems at the molecular level.
  • Students gain a foundation in chemistry and biology to develop their understanding of life’s chemical basis.
  • Courses introduce students to research as early as their freshman year with opportunities to participate in faculty-mentored projects.
  • They can continue research year-round through labs, independent studies, and summer grants.
  • These projects develop the lab skills and give them opportunities to make a difference in agriculture, medicine and other areas.
