With a chemistry or biochemistry degree from our American Chemical Society certified program, you could end up working on a cure for cancer; monitoring pollutants in the local watershed; researching superior energy solutions (i.e., battery technology or solar panels); developing new textiles, cosmetics or pharmaceutical products; or creating the global supply of a new compound.

Our program combines rigorous academics with extensive opportunities for research and work in the lab. You’ll gain a solid foundation in the math and the physical sciences while developing your critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork and leadership skills. These skills are in demand in today’s workforce. 

Large institutions just can’t provide the individualized attention you’ll find here. Even as a freshman, you’ll have the opportunity to be in the lab working with real professors, not graduate assistants. Throughout your four years, you’ll have the chance to design and conduct your own experiments, work on independent projects, participate in grant-funded research projects, present your research at regional and/or national conferences, and possibly even co-author an article for a professional/scientific journal. You will learn to operate our impressive collection of research instruments. The opportunities open to you are truly incredible!

Here, you won’t get lost in the crowd. You’ll be an elite biochemistry student – part of our family. You’ll enjoy small class sizes and amazing friendships. Our dedicated professors will get to know you. They will support you in your coursework, research, internships, co-ops, and post-graduate or career preparations. They will become personally invested in your success – in college and beyond.

Upon graduation, you’ll be ready to make important scientific contributions. You’ll be armed with the knowledge, hands-on experience, and critical thinking skills needed for success – no matter where your path leads you.
