简而言之，化学是对物质的研究，即物质的结构，性质和经历的转化。生物化学是使用专业方法并利用化学来学习和解释生物系统的子学科。我们的美国化学学会认可的本科生和研究生课程的实力取决于师生之间的密切参与，并且非常重视研究。在生物化学学士学位课程中，您将参加必修的化学讲座和实验室课程，以及许多化学选修课。此外，您还将参加补充科学（物理学和生物学），数学，计算机科学以及人文和社会科学课程。在化学教授的支持下，您还将进行原创研究。这项研究不迟于您三年级时开始的，最后在部门研讨会上发表了一篇高级论文和研究报告。BS课程
Recent graduates are employed as scientists in academia, industry and government, or pursuing postgraduate education. In addition to our rigourous academic program, students can work side-by-side with faculty on research projects such as discovering novel inhibitors of bacterial efflux pumps as a way to combat multi-drug resistance in bacteria, studying biodegradation of polymer coatings, and discovering new photodynamic lung cancer treatments.<br><br>Whether students are in upper-level teaching laboratories or individual faculty research laboratories, they gain hands-on experience with modern chemical instrumentation as they study research problems. Some research projects result in student-authored publications.
