Explore the biochemical processes within living organisms through Temple University's Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry program in the College of Science and Technology. This field serves as the foundation for advancements in health sciences, environmental research, nutrition, and physiology. The comprehensive 123-credit program equips students for diverse career paths in medicine, scientific research, technology, or further studies in biochemistry, bioengineering, biotechnology, and cellular biology. The program's interdisciplinary approach integrates biological and chemical principles with essential mathematics and physics concepts. While chemistry examines atomic structures and molecular compositions, biology focuses on life sciences and living systems. You'll investigate how atoms and molecules interact to form new compounds through chemical bonding. Students then advance to studying vital chemical mechanisms that sustain life, analyzing biological systems' chemical makeup, functions, and physical organization.
