The B.S. program in biochemistry follows a curriculum with requirements similar to those of the B.S. chemistry degree program, but with special emphasis on additional course work in biology and biochemistry that satisfies the needs of students who anticipate careers in the life sciences. A mark of distinction and rigor is the program's focus on research. Each student is encouraged to conduct a research project that normally includes a ten-week summer period following the junior year and culminates with the submission of a research thesis and the presentation of a seminar.
