“My professors were really invested in their classes and their students—they wanted me to succeed, and they sought out ways to do that. I don’t think that’s widespread. The professor-to-class relationship was just so strong at UJ.â€
Our Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry program encourages students to investigate the chemistry of living systems. Courses are taught by professors, never grad students. And class sizes are kept small. All so you can get personal attention from your instructor.
Coursework covers a range of disciplines, from analytical chemistry and microbiology to mathematics and physics. To promote hands-on learning and help you develop research skills, our biochemistry courses are complemented by laboratory work.
Many of our biochemistry students go on to professional school after graduation. To help with this transition, we offer the following pre-professional programs:
Many of our graduates go on to masters and PhD programs in science. Others pursue teaching or work in industries such as:
All required courses are listed in the academic catalog. To view specific course requirements:
Our students develop their abilities to conduct experiments and engage in research through laboratory work in cell biology, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, and microbiology.
More experience = a better career! Our community support helps you gain professional development opportunities – many of which are available for credit. Our students gain experience by working with local dentists, veterinarians, and healthcare clinics.
