Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biochemistry] From University of Notre Dame

Each year, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry graduates around 40 majors, with an approximately equal split between biochemistry and chemistry majors. Both groups share a common curriculum for the first two years. Classes are taught separately from the non-majors track, which allows for smaller class sizes and more in-depth discussions. Once students begin taking advanced courses in their specific majors, classes become even smaller and more personal. Some of the advantages enjoyed by their majors include:

• greater one-on-one contact with professors
• hands-on experience with research grade equipment in undergraduate laboratories
• unique, project-based laboratories emphasizing critical thinking and trouble shooting skills
• individual advising?

Chemistry and biochemistry majors are also encouraged to engage in undergraduate research. With over 50 research faculty associated with the department, students can find several options that match their interests.
