Biochemistry Major, B.S., ACS-Certified, ASBMB-Accredited

The Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry degree program is accredited by the American Association for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (ASBMB) and is certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This course of study is ideal for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in the dynamic fields of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (BMB), Biotechnology, or Biomedicine, as well as health professional schools (medical, dental, pharmacy, veterinary, etc). All Biochemistry students have excellent research opportunities in areas such as protein biochemistry, bio-organic reaction mechanisms, cellular biochemistry, molecular oncology,
