The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry offers a course of
study in which traditional and modern biochemistry are integrated with
studies in molecular biology. In addition, as described below, students
are required to carry out undergraduate research work, and three
research options in molecular biology and biochemistry are offered to
majors. This course of study prepares students for graduate studies in
molecular biology and biochemistry and related fields, entry into
professional schools in medicine or other health professions, or
employment in industries (e.g., biotechnology, pharmaceuticals) in
which molecular biology and biochemistry skills are in demand.
