Biochemistry is the study of biological molecules and chemical processes that make up all living systems, which in turn relates to the study and understanding of whole organisms. To fully interact with known biochemical information and make future contributions to our molecular understanding of life, students must obtain a broad background in biology and a firm foundation in chemistry, mathematics, and physics. The program prepares students for professional school (medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine) and graduate school in biochemistry, molecular biology, or another biological science discipline. Graduates will find employment opportunities in the research programs of universities or industrial and government laboratories. Upon successful completion of the biochemistry program, students will be able to comprehend the breadth of current concepts in biochemistry and molecular genetics; read and critically evaluate scientific literature; formulate hypotheses and develop, conduct, and interpret a research plan; and demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge gained.
