Biochemistry

Biochemistry majors take select chemistry and biology courses that apply the fundamentals of chemistry to living systems.

The Biochemistry major, offered in the Department of Chemistry and Physical Science, provides students a solid grounding in chemistry and biology, and is supported by mathematics and physics courses.

Biochemistry is a great choice for students planning a career in the biochemical or pharmaceutical industries, or planning continued studies in medicine, dentistry or related fields.

Featured Courses:

The program consists of courses that include:

• Analytical Chemistry
• Biochemistry
• Cell Biology
• Genetics
• Instrumental Analysis
• Organic Chemistry
• Physical Chemistry.

Hands-On Learning:

Under the guidance of faculty, biochemistry students at the Mount can participate in chemistry research as part of a research group. Many research students are co-authors on published chemistry research papers while others present their work at regional professional meetings.

Our extensive cooperative education opportunities provide real-life experiences in industrial settings and research labs in greater Cincinnati. These co-op positions have often led to full-time positions for our students.
