Introduction
Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary program that deals with understanding the chemical processes of living matter. A knowledge of biochemistry is essential to fully understand most of the biological disciplines. This major is beneficial for students who are interesting in chemistry and biology areas and for pre-med students. Students can also prepare for graduate studies in biochemistry, as well as such fields as genetics, microbiology, physiology, immunology, and other biological and chemical fields. Biochemistry graduates can work for laboratories and pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies.

Overview
If you choose to study biochemistry at Manhattanville College you can prepare for graduate studies in biochemistry, as well as such fields as genetics, microbiology, physiology, immunology, and other biological and chemical fields. It is also a good starting point for students interested in being pre-med, as biochemistry helps them better understand the medical sciences.
You will also get hands on experience while studying at Manhattanville, working on research projects with faculty members in the department as well as the opportunity to complete your own research project.
