The Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry provides programs tailored for students fascinated by the molecular and chemical foundations of biological systems. These programs are ideal for those aiming to enter medical school or pursue advanced studies in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, or biophysics. The B.S. major, intended for students dedicated to research, offers a rigorous foundation in laboratory methods for biochemistry and biophysics. Participants typically undertake research projects in faculty labs during their final two undergraduate years. The B.A. major delivers the academic rigor of biochemistry and biophysics while allowing students time for in-depth exploration of other disciplines or treating molecular biology as part of a broad liberal education—these students may also participate in research during their junior and senior years.
