Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biochemistry and Molecular Biology] From Hope College

Students will learn the concepts and skills required to be successful scientists in the field. Students will be prepared for graduate study in biochemistry and molecular biology and related fields or entry into technical careers.

The major also provides excellent preparation for professional degrees such as medicine, dentistry or veterinary science. Students take a rich, interdisciplinary core of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics courses .

The wide variety of chemical reactions that occur in the cell are the interest of the biochemist, while the genetic storage, transfer and use of information is the domain of the molecular biologist and structure-function relationships interest both.

Biochemistry and molecular biology meld together into a rich understanding of the action and regulation of processes that sustain life.
