Program Description
The Bichemistry program is innovative, directed to the career needs of our students, and provides opportunities for extracurricular and research activities. The course offerings are intended to promote scientific reasoning, to develop lab skills and prepare students for graduate and professional schools as well as employment in industry.

Program Goals
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate in-depth knowledge (IDK) of the major areas of chemistry: Analytical, Biochemistry, Inorganic, Organic and Physical. Our students should be able to solve scientific problems.

  • Demonstrate modern laboratory skills (MLS) needed to solve issues related to biochemistry and chemistry and will be strongly encouraged to participate in research projects with the faculty and attend departmental seminars allowing undergraduates to come into contact with national and international scholars.

  • Develop quantitative reasoning skills (QRS) as well as write reports and communicate scientific findings orally. They will apply mathematical concepts to chemical problems and learn to work as part of a problem-solving team.

  • Learn proper study procedures and regulations (PR) for the safe handling and use of chemicals, and be schooled to apply ethical and professional considerations to their conduct.

Career Professional Development Activities
Students are encouraged to complete the following milestones as part of their preparation for future careers or advanced education. A member of your Success Team can help you schedule these activities at the appropriate times to keep you on track for both academic and professional success.
