Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
While biologists often focus on large structures within organisms and chemists focus on molecules and reactions, biochemists and molecular biologists focus on the chemical reactions and structures that make organisms 'tick' at the molecular level. This major is designed so every course you take will either prepare you for or directly cover topics that are at the convergence of chemistry and biology.
A major in biochemistry and molecular biology is rigorous and comprehensive because it prepares you for careers that both biology majors and chemistry majors also prepare students for. This major is an excellent preparation for medical school and other medical-related professional schools (i.e., veterinary medicine, pharmacy, optometry). Biochemists and molecular biologists also work as research scientists in hospital and industrial labs and in government positions including food and drug inspectors. Some also work for biotechnology firms, developing the pharmaceuticals and heath care products of tomorrow. A BMB major will also prepare you for a wide variety of graduate school programs through which you can develop your expertise in a narrower field within this interdisciplinary field of study.
At CBU, you will learn under professors who are dedicated to their students. Every major class and lab is taught by a full-time faculty member. We have state-of-the-art equipment and facilities that are dedicated for use by our students in both classes and research. As a CBU student, you can also explore ways to incorporate faith with your studies so you can genuinely live your purpose as a scientist in today’s increasingly complex world.
