BSc in Biochemistry in Fort Collins United States | Colorado State University

The Biochemistry program equips students with a comprehensive foundation across biological, physical, and mathematical sciences. Biochemistry students explore topics like macromolecular architecture, cellular processes, metabolic pathways, genetic regulation, nucleic acid and protein organization, DNA mechanisms, cellular dynamics, signaling pathways, and life cycle events. The curriculum also mandates coursework in physics, organic chemistry, and research-oriented statistical analysis. Hands-on learning through independent projects and internships (often beginning in upper years but available earlier) fosters close faculty collaboration and may result in contributing to published research.

Program Objectives
Graduates will develop the ability to:

Explain fundamental principles in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology
Evaluate scientific literature by assessing methodologies, findings, and conclusions, while effectively communicating technical information verbally
Operate laboratory equipment, analyze data, and formulate experimental approaches
Conduct independent investigations in biochemistry and molecular biology research
