Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry

Biochemists explore the molecular nature of cells, study the development of illnesses, search for new drugs, predict undeveloped/inherited health problems and help forensic experts identify criminals. Our undergraduate curriculum includes chemistry, mathematics, physics, genetics and biology. Accredited by the American Chemical Society and ranking in the top three in the number of certified degrees awarded in New York, our biochemistry degree will help you pursue graduate study, attend health-related professional schools, or work in entry-level positions at laboratories or pharmaceuticals biotechnology industries.

Join the American Chemical Society (ACS) student affiliate, which offers free tutoring and other services — and has often been cited as one of the most outstanding in the country. Excel and you may qualify for the chemistry honours program, which emphasizes independent study and research — or even the national honour societies Sigma Xi and Phi Kappa Phi.
