Merges coursework in physical, life and applied sciences to provide well-rounded, pre-professional training needed to start your career.

Explore the chemical and physical processes that occur in living organisms in a stimulating learning environment with small classes that encourage interaction between fellow students and professors and well-rounded lab experiences.

Students in the biochemistry major will find themselves taking part in small classes that encourage close and frequent interaction between students and professors, helping to create a stimulating learning environment.

Students in this major are offered abundant research opportunities both during the academic year and during the summer months. Faculty are engaged in research projects which lend themselves to undergraduate participation. In tackling the challenge of advanced and independent laboratory work, students begin to understand the nature of science and the scientific method. Participation in research by all students is strongly encouraged, as it builds a greater appreciation of the nature of their chosen field. The opportunity to perform independent research has motivated many students to continue their education either in an accredited graduate program or in a professional school in a number of medical fields.

Often, faculty and students jointly present their research results at national professional meetings, the Rider Independent Scholarly Research & Creative Activities Presentations (ISCAP) Day, or as written research papers submitted to scholarly journals.
