Chemistry - Biochemistry Concentration, B.S.
The Biochemistry concentration focuses on the structure-function relationship and reactions of molecules in living organisms, making it a great fit for students interested in graduate school, pharmaceutical research, or medicine.
Students graduating with a Biochemistry Concentration will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of basic principles and theories in analytical, organic, physical chemistry, inorganic, and biochemistry
- Apply chemical principles through problem solving and laboratory experimentation
- Demonstrate competency in use of sophisticated laboratory instruments
- Design, implement, and analyze biochemical experiments involving nucleic acids and proteins
