Bachelor of Science - Biology - Biochemistry

Program Description

In biology, there are questions to be asked and problems to be solved. Through the biology program at the University of New Haven, students will learn to do both successfully, applying the theoretical knowledge they gain in the classroom in hands-on laboratory activities and engaging in field work right from the start.

• An emphasis on integrating theoretical knowledge with practical, career-focused work
  
• Studying in state-of-the-art laboratories
• Participation in active research projects designed for students and led by faculty
• Exploring Connecticut’s rich biological systems, including the Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center at Milford Point and the Banca Marsh
• Learning from faculty who are passionate scholars in their respective disciplines
• The opportunity to study in different settings, including the Sound School in New Haven and the Gerace Tropical Research Station in the Bahamas
• The opportunity to participate in the Lyme Disease Research Group
• On-campus clubs and organizations, including the Beta Beta Beta National Biologic Honors Society, the Biology Club, and the Marine Conservation Society

This concentration is most appropriate for students interested in a career in the rapidly growing fields of biotechnology and biomedical/pharmaceutical research or in pursuing an advanced degree in biochemistry or molecular biology. The program offers extensive hands-on experience in biochemical, cellular, and molecular techniques.
