About the course

Biochemistry is the study of life on the molecular level. It combines approaches from chemistry, physics, and biology to study the fundamental mechanisms of living things and is a central discipline in the molecular biosciences and their biomedical applications. Biochemistry majors choose one of two emphasis options in the program:

　　Molecular Biology provides increased emphasis on cell biology and molecular genetics, integrating genetics with the study of life on the molecular level, Biochemistry/biophysics provides increased emphasis on physics and mathematics, applying physics and math to the study of life on the molecular level. To start with, you'll take chemistry and biology courses that give you a strong foundation to build on. Then, beginning in your sophomore year, you can start delving into biochemistry and choose which emphasis to take. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
