The undergraduate program in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology strives to provide (i) superior training in nutrition, biochemistry and molecular biology and (ii) encouragement for self-study and research to students seeking a B.S. degree. As part of a research-oriented university, the department, through its students, creates new knowledge. As a result of our teaching efforts, the new B.S.’s created will be able to matriculate into professional and graduate schools or to find positions in teaching professions and/or industry. In addition, the department serves the community by providing expertise in matters related to nutritional and medical biochemistry. For example, it teaches biochemistry to pre-medical and other pre-health students across a wide variety of life science related majors including biology, microbiology, neuroscience, and biomedical engineering.
