理学士 生物化学

"Our 生物化学 degree is truly interdisciplinary and prepares our students to delve into both the cellular and chemical interactions that are essential for life on Earth,尼古拉斯·斯塔苏里说, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology & environmental science and bio化学 program coordinator.

Position Yourself at the Intersection of Two Great Sciences

生物化学 is where chemical processes merge with biological functions and systems. It’s the fascinating area of study where scientists focus on the biochemical reactions that happen at the molecular level in living things.

Biochemical research is an integral part of many fields, and discoveries in bio化学 have improved — and continue to improve — the quality of our lives. From contributions to the field of medicine — including in cell biology, 药理学, 免疫学, 营养, 癌症研究, and forensic medicine — to its applications in industry and food production, bio化学 is demonstrating an ever-widening range of impact, opening up exciting new opportunities for future biochemists.

Our Program 给s You All the Elements for Success

To prepare you for this highly collaborative field, the 网赌上分平台’s B.S. in 生物化学 program integrates courses in biology and 化学 to give you a holistic view of how chemical interactions influence biological systems. The knowledge you gain in the classroom will be put to work in hands-on laboratory courses, where you will develop your proficiency in conducting scientific experiments using our high-tech instrumentation to analyze and evaluate experimental results.

此外:

  • You will have the unique opportunity to perform mentored research with faculty from both the 生物学 and 化学 programs, adding depth to your research experience, which will impress future employers.
  • Because biochemists — like everyone else— must possess the soft skill of effective communication, you will develop the ability to critically assess and effectively communicate your knowledge of biology, 化学, and experimental results both orally and in writing.
  • You will develop proficiency in the use and critical evaluation of scientific literature and biological and/or chemical databases.
The Professional Bonds That Make the Program Even Stronger

The 网赌上分平台 has established professional connections in both industry and academia. These strong links bring significant advantages — both pre- and post-graduation — to students in our 生物化学 program. Our network includes local and state organizations and companies, the BioCT network of biotech companies, 耶鲁大学, 康州大学, Alexion, Arvinas, and other high-profile entities.

The Doors This Degree Will Open

生物化学家, 生物技术人员, 医师助理, 医学科学家, and environmental scientist are some of the careers that will be open to you with this degree. The Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics has stated that all of the above careers expect a growth rate of between 6% and 31% through 2028.

Other students will choose to go on to graduate school. 我们的B.S. in 生物化学 is a superb foundation for master’s- and doctoral-level programs in many biological, 生物医学, 化学科学, where lab experience is a great advantage in successfully completing an advanced degree.

Students pursuing this rigorous degree program are also excellent candidates for our Pre-Medical Studies designation if their goal is to earn an M.D. 或维.O. degree in medical school or if they want to practice in fields such as radiology or neurology, where knowledge of chemical interactions is essential.
