Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry

A Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry gives students the skills to become a research associate studying the way molecules react to one another, or a laboratory technician analyzing cancer cells in the pursuit of a cure. Students may become a chemist in a food development laboratory, write for a scientific journal or work for a consumer products company developing a more effective sunscreen.

Quinnipiac University teaches students to evaluate and interpret data, hone their analytical thinking skills and present the results of their scientific research to large audiences. An independent research project strengthens the skills students develop in the classroom. Companies such as Alexion, CT Agricultural Station and Lab Synergy offer real-life work experience in the form of internships.

Students' degree in biochemistry qualifies them to work as a research assistant in a chemical, pharmaceutical or academic research laboratory upon graduation, but students will also have the foundation to pursue an advanced degree in several fields including medicine, veterinary medicine or law.
