Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biochemistry] From South Dakota State University

One of the fastest growing scientific disciplines is also one of the youngest – biochemistry. Biochemistry is the application of atomic and molecular principles to the function of life processes. This multi-faceted science includes the study of all life forms and depends on basic concepts derived from chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics. Training in biochemistry at the undergraduate level positions students well for careers in biotechnology, pharmaceutical development, government laboratories, and is very appropriate as a pre-professional course of study. 

This program will be a good fit if you:

• Are curious about the natural world
• Enjoy the life sciences, chemistry, and math
• Like to do research and experiments in the lab
• Are detail oriented
• Enjoy research
