Bachelor of Science Degree in Biochemistry

The Biochemistry program at Norwich is small but mighty. You will get the full attention of our exceptional faculty from day one, start using research-grade instrumentation in your first year, and have a chance to get involved in a research project by the time you are a junior.

Biochemistry studies the molecules that makeup life. Proteins and enzymes, RNA and DNA — it is a science that explains cellular machinery’s mechanics. These insights are applied via gene therapy, biologics, bioprosthetics, bioinformatics and other avenues to improve lives.

Biochemistry majors at Norwich are perfectly positioned to launch careers in the biotech or health care industries or prepare for medical school. Exploring how biology performs complex chemical reactions, biochemistry helps us understand life itself. It is a fast-growing, cutting-edge science with many practical applications today.

For 200 years, Norwich University’s guiding values and mission have helped create an atmosphere of excellence. We are the nation’s oldest private military college and the birthplace of ROTC, serving a diverse student body that reflects the world today.
