与生物化学浓度有关的教师研究兴趣的广度说明了生物化学的多样性。这些兴趣范围从生物物理学和生物物理化学到分子和细胞生物学。受过良好训练的生物化学家必须在物理科学和生物学方面有良好的基础。鼓励该浓度的学生报读更严格的化学和物理课程，并至少修读三个学期的数学。高级课程对高年级学生和研究生开放，并且每学期开设一门生物化学领域的一学分研讨会课程。生物化学是一门实验科学，我们鼓励学生在教师的指导下开展独立的研究项目。通过进行研究，学生将对某个领域有更深入的了解，并对实验科学过程有所了解。
The diversity of biochemistry is illustrated by the breadth of the research interests of the faculty associated with the Biochemistry concentration. These interests range from biophysics and biophysical chemistry through molecular and cellular biology. A well trained biochemist must have an excellent grounding in the physical sciences as well as in biology. Students in this concentration are encouraged to enroll in the more rigorous course sequences in chemistry and physics and to take at least three semesters of mathematics. Courses at the advanced level are open to upper-class students as well as graduate students, and a one-credit seminar course in an area of biochemistry is offered each semester. Biochemistry is an experimental science and students are encouraged to carry out independent research projects under faculty supervision. By performing research, a student gains a deeper understanding of an area as well as an appreciation of the experimental scientific process.
