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

The program offered by . Biochemistry majors choose one of two emphasis options in the program:

• Molecular Biology provides increased emphasis on cell biology and molecular genetics, integrating genetics with the study of life on the molecular level.
• Biochemistry/biophysics provides increased emphasis on physics and mathematics, applying physics and math to the study of life on the molecular level.

Strengths of the program

• Learn research techniques and operate advanced equipment.
• Undertake a research project of your own, mentored by a faculty researcher.
• The prestigious STARS program helps ambitious, high-achieving students get an early start on research and earn their Ph.D. in biochemistry, genetics and cell biology, or microbiology up to two years faster.
• You can join a math, science, and engineering community residence hall at WSU Pullman—share classes with your neighbors, study together, get free tutoring, and use the hall’s computer lab.
• Individualize your course of study within the School of Molecular Biosciences.
• Study with faculty noted for their work in protein biochemistry, DNA repair, structural biology, molecular plant sciences, food science, and reproductive biology.
