The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department is a vibrant, young, and growing department with 20 tenured and tenure-track faculty advising over 90 full-time graduate students, 20 or more postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists, and a host of undergraduates getting their first exposure to scientific research at the highest level. We have active research programs in analytical, organic, biochemistry, physical, and inorganic chemistry, with most faculty having research programs that cross over traditional divisional boundaries. We are well-equipped to perform top-level research in all traditional and interdisciplinary chemistry-based fields.<br><br>The BS in biochemistry provides students a solid foundation of chemistry with in-depth laboratory experience in organic and biochemistry. Biochemistry students will learn instrumentation and synthetic methods using state-of-the-art instrumentations. In addition, students will develop critical thinking skills, communication skills, and collaboration skills crucial for their career success. We recommend the BS in biochemistry for undergraduates wanting to pursue graduate study in biochemistry or careers in the industry. This degree is also suitable for premedical, predental, or prepharmacy students.
