Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

A degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Elizabethtown College helps students integrate chemistry and biology perspectives. The key to our approach is getting students to integrate chemistry and biology to solve science problems! By developing and fine-tuning critical thinking skills through intentional course work (both in the classroom and especially in the laboratory), our Biochemistry and Molecular Biology majors develop hands-on laboratory skills sought after by both employers and graduate programs.

Students looking to pursue pre-medical, and other health professional program studies, have found that studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Etown College has provided them with the education, practical experience, and critical thinking skills necessary to enter into top medical schools like the Penn State Hershey College of Medicine, Wake Forest, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Armed with an Etown College Biochemistry and Molecular Biology degree, our graduates pursue life-long careers in various areas, including biomedical and pharmaceutical research, medical and dental practice, patent law, and professional science writing.

Our commitment is to Educate for Service. We believe that learning is most noble when used to benefit others, regardless of chosen career path. We prepare our students to lead rich lives of purpose and meaning, while advancing independent thought, personal integrity and social responsibility. These are the foundations for a life of learning.
