Description
Biochemistry is at the core of modern science, enabling fundamental advances in medicine, agriculture, industry and basic science. Indeed, biochemists conduct some of the most exciting research in science, and careers in biochemistry rank among the highest on almost every published list of “Best Careers.” Fredonia’s Bachelor of Science degree program in Biochemistry is administered jointly by the Department of Biology and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. With its emphasis on mastery of technical and analytical skills in biochemistry, Fredonia’s program is designed to prepare students for graduate school, medical school, or careers in biochemical research. It also provides a broad foundation in the liberal arts, enhancing graduates’ abilities to meet challenges in a shifting social climate. Course requirements of the degree program are listed below. Although not required, participation in undergraduate research in either biology or chemistry is encouraged. For course descriptions, students should see the listings under the appropriate departments; Biology and Chemistry.
