The biochemistry and
molecular biology program offers an interdisciplinary major that draws on the
faculty and course resources of the departments of biology and chemistry.
Designed to provide students with an in-depth exploration of an actively growing
area of science, the program is suitable for students who want to pursue
graduate studies in the area; enter medical school with a strong background in
basic science; or take laboratory or other science-related positions after
graduation.
