Biochemistry and biophysics, closely-related fields, use tools from a different science to study life. Specifically, Biochemistry studies the chemical processes and transformations in living organisms, while Biophysics applies the theories and methods of physics to questions of biology. This major is run by the Department of Biological Sciences. Our graduates are exceptionally well prepared for graduate school and to become desirable employees in the biotechnology industry. The curriculum also provides an excellent background for students planning careers in medicine. Program Outcomes Students who successfully complete this program will be able to demonstrate: An ability to apply process of science including an ability to conduct and interpret experiments. An ability to use quantitative reasoning, use modeling and simulation, analyze and interpret experimental results, and interpret statistical significance measures. An ability to communicate and collaborate with other disciplines, knowledge of interdisciplinary connections, and knowledge of the relationship between science and society. Knowledge of biological evolution Knowledge of the flow, exchange and storage of genetic information Knowledge of pathways and processes of transformations of energy and matter. Knowledge of the structure function relationship in biology Knowledge of the mechanism whereby enzymes catalyze and regulate reactions, and knowledge of the functioning and structure of the molecular components of living organisms An ability to research, prepare, communicate, and present results.
