A BS in Biochemistry helps students understand the chemical processes within living organisms and requires the understanding of chemistry and biology. Experience student-based research, a wide variety of hands-on labs, and an intersection of topics spanning multiple majors.
Majoring in biochemistry offers a multidisciplinary approach to the sciences, allowing you to explore the molecular mechanisms that drive life processes. A degree in biochemistry can open pathways to advanced studies in medicine, pharmacy, or graduate research, enhancing your expertise and career prospects.
The study of chemistry provides a firm foundation for many other subjects and can give you an advantage when it comes to searching for and finding a job or applying to graduate school or a professional school.
Through both theoretical knowledge and laboratory skills, you'll learn to analyze complex biological systems and understand the molecular basis of health and disease. Along the way, you will gain interdisciplinary knowledge through our mathematics and biology courses as well.
Your degree can help you reach your professional goals. MMU can never promise a career or particular outcome upon graduating. Here are potential job titles, traits and settings a graduate in our BS in Biochemistry program could achieve.
