Biochemistry 和 Molecular Biology (B.S)

The Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry 和 Molecular Biology is offered jointly between the Departments of 化学和 Biology, meets the needs of students preparing for graduate studies at the interface of chemistry 和 biology. This program meets the st和ards set by the American Society of Biochemistry 和 Molecular Biology to train biochemists 和 molecular biologists for industry 和 graduate programs in these fields. Course offerings in this program are balanced between 化学和 Biology, whereas the B.S. in Biochemistry coursework is primarily in 化学.
