Academic Catalog
Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary program that deals with the chemical processes of living matter. Knowledge of biochemistry is essential to fully understand most of the biological disciplines. This major is beneficial for pre-med students because the science of biochemistry enables them to better comprehend the medical sciences. Students are also prepared for graduate studies in biochemistry, as well as in such fields as genetics, microbiology, physiology, immunology, and other biological and chemical fields.
Faculty Committee
Darlene D’Alliessi Gandolfi (Chemistry), Nancy Todd (Biology), and Anna Yeung-Cheung (Biology)
Prospective Biochemistry majors should meet with a Biochemistry Faculty Committee member as soon as possible in order to prepare an appropriate study plan.
