International Year One - Undergraduate Pathway - Natural Sciences (4-Semester Pathway) Transfer to Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Program Description

International Year One allows student to begin earning credits toward their degree even if they don’t meet the academic and English requirements for direct entry. They will receive additional support to help them succeed and progress to their degree path so they can graduate at the same time as direct entry students.
Biochemistry & Molecular Biology is the study of life at the molecular level. Drew’s abundant research opportunities strengthen their résumé as they look for graduate schools or employment in industry after graduation. Our majors intern at Merck, Johnson & Johnson and other global pharmaceutical companies.

The intersection of biology and chemistry provides an integrative focus for understanding the molecular processes of life, and students engage the material using contemporary methods of biochemical analysis and molecular biology. The curriculum consists of required courses which provides a strong background for further study in both fields and electives allow students to personalize their major and pursue their interests in either biology, chemistry, or both. A key component of the BMB program is the pursuit of at least one semester of original research, mentored by a member of the Drew faculty. These opportunities provide close collaboration between students and faculty, and often result in published manuscripts and presentations at national scientific conferences.
