B.S. in Biochemistry
The B.S. degree in Biochemistry, accredited by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, is designed to prepare students for a career in biochemistry or graduate studies. Completion of the degree requirements can also increase a student’s chances of success in medical, dental or other related health programs by helping students develop a strong academic foundation needed for success in such professional schools. The focus is on a molecular approach to studying living systems. The biochemistry major can choose to specialize in related areas of chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics or structural biology, pre-med, allied health sciences or biomedical sciences by a careful selection of elective courses. Each student is expected to carry out a laboratory-based research project.
Completion of a biochemistry degree is an excellent path towards success in medical, dental or other related health programs. Students develop a strong academic foundation needed for success in such professional schools. Students interested in applying to professional schools benefit from specialized advising from Rowan's Office of Pre-Health Programs.
