About the course
The Biochemistry major provides a student with a strong, well-balanced background in the biological, physical, and mathematical sciences. As a Biochemistry major, studies include macromolecular structure and function, cellular biochemistry, metabolism, gene expression, DNA and protein structure, DNA replication and repair, cell organization, communication, growth, aging, and death. Students are also required to take courses in physics, organic chemistry, and statistical measurements and methods used in research. Independent study and internships (typically during the junior and senior years, but could start in the freshman year) provide opportunities for experiential learning and working ly with the faculty, sometimes leading to authorship of original publications.
