Licenciatura en Bioquímica

The Biochemistry Program at Muhlenberg College offers a curriculum that integrates classroom and laboratory-based learning in the interdisciplinary study of living systems at the molecular level. Students explore the interface of chemistry and biology, negotiating distinct yet complementary modes of inquiry.

Our program asks students to confront the implicit responsibilities and societal and ethical implications of research, critically engage with scientific information and develop the reasoning skills necessary to navigate rapidly changing landscapes of knowledge. We value student-faculty collaborative research and encourage the presentation and publication of student work.

In these ways and supporting students pursuing an additional major/minor(s), studying abroad and engaging in the community, we encourage our students to realize the goals of a liberal arts education fully. Our students can graduate with ACS certification and are poised for various careers, graduate research or professional study.

Muhlenberg College aims to develop independent critical thinkers who are intellectually agile, characterized by a zest for reasoned and civil debate, committed to understanding the diversity of the human experience, able to express ideas with clarity and grace, committed to lifelong learning, equipped with ethical and civic values and prepared for lives of leadership and service. The College is committed to providing an intellectually rigorous education within the context of an inclusive and diverse campus; we strongly believe that diversity is essential to learning and to our success as a pluralistic community. Our curriculum integrates the traditional liberal arts with selected preprofessional studies. Our faculty are passionate about teaching, value close relationships with students and are committed to the pedagogical and intellectual importance of research.

All members of our community are committed to educating the whole person through experiences within and beyond the classroom. Honoring its historical heritage from the Lutheran Church and its continuing connection with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Muhlenberg encourages, welcomes and celebrates a variety of faith traditions and spiritual perspectives.
