Bachelor of Science Biochemistry

Biochemistry is an ever-growing field that unravels the chemical processes of living organisms. Our Biochemistry program will provide specialized field-related coursework and equip you with essential chemistry and biology skills. Start today to prepare for a career in science or pre-professional programs.

As a St. Scholastica Biochemistry major, you’ll gain a solid bedrock of science skills and knowledge. This foundation will support your future graduate school plans and careers in areas like research or medicine.

You won’t get lost in the shuffle — our science department is small enough to support student-focused research, but large enough to offer high-tech instrumentation and computer labs.

You will benefit from individualized attention from your professors, who will give you the support and assistance you need to succeed. In-depth, hands-on learning experiences will engage your mind and captivate your imagination.

Program graduates have excellent placement rates. Alumni have gone on to work as research and environmental scientists, lab managers and scientific writers.
