Biochemistry explores life at the molecular level, examining the chemical processes and transformations within living systems. The major's foundational curriculum spans general, organic, and biological chemistry, alongside biology, calculus, physics, and hands-on lab work. At USU, chemistry students can engage in research early in their academic journey, progressing from lab assistants to leading independent projects. Distinctively, numerous undergraduates in the department achieve published research, providing a significant edge for graduate school applications. Students select between two physics pathways: Life Sciences: Ideal for those leaning toward biological studies. Science-Engineering: Tailored for students with stronger mathematical/physical interests.
The College of Science boasts exceptional faculty, including three Carnegie Professors honored for their excellence in undergraduate education. These prestigious awards draw recipients from universities across the country.
