The Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry uses chemistry as a tool to examine the molecular processes of life. Biochemistry is at the core of life sciences, and biochemical knowledge provides the underpinning for a variety of disciplines, from medicine to agriculture to engineering. In this program, students take coursework from award-winning faculty whose research and expertise include diverse specialties: protein structure and function, molecular genetics, medicinal biochemistry, optics, physics and more. Students hone communication and presentation skills; learn report writing, analytical thinking and research methods; and develop proficiency in mathematics and information technology. The complex questions that biochemists and chemists address encompass critical challenges that humans face today and tomorrow.LEARNING OUTCOMESAnalyze; Critically analyze the results and data from biochemical experiments, including one's own original researchCommunicate; Communicate scientific findings and place them into the context of existing scientific knowledge and literatureExperiment; Conduct biochemical (or related) experiments, including original researchFoundation; Develop foundational knowledge of core biochemical concepts and principlesHypothesize; Make hypotheses and models and devisedesign tests of them
