Dual Degree - Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry & Master of Science - Biomedical Sciences

4+1 Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s degrees are a great way to save time and money and also enhance students career opportunities. Students can receive their Master’s degree in as little as one year. Eligible students take 12 graduate credits which is applied to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. 

Manhattanville’s School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) offer two tracks for full-time undergraduates who wish to combine an undergraduate Biochemistry degree with a Biomedical Sciences degree at the graduate level.

Manhattanville College’s Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biochemistry degree programs explore the chemical processes that guide the most basic steps of life, from conception to death. As a biochemistry major, students will study the complex interaction between fields of genetics, microbiology, physiology, immunology, and chemistry, getting the chance to work closely with faculty members on research projects ⁠— and complete their own. If they're interested in careers or graduate studies in chemistry and biology or want to pursue a career in medicine, studying biochemistry at Manhattanville develops the foundational knowledge students need through developing a background in hands-on application.

While building the necessary applied skills and a breadth of knowledge in biological and chemical fields, as a biochemistry student students will foster professional relationships with peers and faculty in preparation for educational and career opportunities post-graduation.

Graduates of Manhattanville’s biochemistry degree programs can work in commercial or educational laboratories and for pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies in roles like chemist or technician. Students will gain the communication skills to go into science writing or consulting and explore many other career choices.

The M.S. in Biomedical Sciences will provide an advanced background for students who are interested in the medical field and who will ultimately apply for admission to medical, dental, veterinary, physician’s assistant or physical therapy professional programs as well as medical research. The core curriculum will provide a solid breadth of the basic medical sciences, with more focused study on specific topics such as global health, bioethics, and biotechnology.
