Chemistry
Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry
What causes chemicals to react with each other? How do chemicals react within human cells and other living systems? How can we design medications and other chemicals that benefit humankind but do not harm the environment? Chemists and biochemists seek the answers to these and other important questions.
Stated simply, chemistry is the study of matter — its structure, properties and the transformations it undergoes. Biochemistry is a subdiscipline that uses specialized methods and makes use of chemistry to learn about and explain biological systems.
The strength of our American Chemical Society accredited undergraduate and graduate programs rely on close faculty-student involvement with a heavy emphasis on research.
