Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Julie Pollock, Coordinator (Chemistry)

The biochemistry and molecular biology program is an interdisciplinary program based in the biology and chemistry departments, and is jointly administered by a coordinating committee consisting of several faculty from each department. The program is designed to offer a flexible route to either the B.A. or B.S. degree and actively encourages student participation in research, which may be conducted with faculty in either department. The flexibility of the program lends itself to combination with study abroad and outreach opportunities. The major is designed to prepare students for future study in any area of the biological sciences, the health professions, or for employment in the biotechnology industry.
