Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry

Great diversity exists within the chemistry field. Consequently, Fisher offers you a selection of concentrations within the discipline, including a degree program in the rapidly growing subspecialty of biochemistry.

At Fisher, the study of biochemistry is a lot more than just memorizing facts. Here, you are taught to become self-sufficient through independent investigation, computer and library literacy, and extensive hands-on laboratory experiences. As a biochemistry major, you gain a complete complement of skills needed to become an effective scientific professional.

Small class size is an additional, compelling reason to study chemistry at Fisher. As a chemistry major, you will typically join 20-35 students for introductory courses and fewer than 10 once you get to the upper-level classes. This means you'll receive plenty of personalized attention.
