Graduate Schools
- Research programs in the summer and during the academic year help students make informed decisions about whether graduate school is right for them.
- Our biochemistry program prepares students to attend graduate school in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, immunology, microbiology, cell biology, pharmacology, etc. Biochemistry majors are also prepared to enter the health professions (e.g., medicine, dentistry, optometry) or to seek employment in government and industrial laboratories.
