Biochemistry, otherwise known as “biological chemistry,” is a subdiscipline of both biology and chemistry. Using advanced technologies to conduct scientific experiments and analysis, biochemists study chemical and physical principles of living things, including cell development, growth, and diseases. As a biochemistry major, you graduate with an interdisciplinary skill set that combines laboratory expertise with a strong foundation in biological processes.
Offered by St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biochemistry provides you with a comprehensive curriculum that prepares you for graduate school or a career in health, or the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic industries.
Available at the University’s Queens, NY, campus, the B.S. in Biochemistry program also offers electives in anatomy, neurobiology, and virology.
