Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry

University at Buffalo - SUNY

By gaining a solid foundation in understanding and applying biochemical principles, you will be poised to contribute to the rapidly growing knowledge of the molecular basis of human health and disease and the emerging technologies for improved disease detection and treatment. Whether you’re planning on going on to medical, dental or graduate school, or you want to start your career right after graduation, a biochemistry degree from UB will help set you apart.What will I learn?During the first two years, you’ll typically take foundational courses and labs in subjects such as cell biology, organic chemistry, calculus and physics. Starting in your junior year, you’ll dive into biochemistry (including research) as you study genetics, metabolism and how cells work on a molecular level. You’ll have some required courses, of course, but you’ll also be able to choose electives in related topics like anatomy, drug discovery and neurobiology.This program is in UB’s medical school, which means students have access to expert faculty, state-of-the-art labs, research projects and other opportunities through UB's affiliated hospitals and clinics.
