Bachelor's in Biochemistry major
Introduction
Biochemistry major is a Bachelor program taught at Colgate University, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.
The Biochemistry major at Colgate University is built from required biology and chemistry courses. Students study BIOL 182 (Molecules, Cells, and Genes) and BIOL 361 (Biochemistry of Gene Expression), along with chemistry fundamentals and advanced topics including General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chem-Life Sciences, and Proteins and Nucleic Acids. The major also includes CHEM 385 (Biophysical Chemistry Methods) and advanced chemistry research through CHEM 481 and CHEM 482.
Course work is organized around lecture courses, associated lab courses, and additional requirements. Students take required labs such as BIOL 182L, CHEM 101L, CHEM 102L, CHEM 263L, and CHEM 264L, plus an integrated laboratory course from the CHEM 380-series. A seminar series for junior and senior majors is part of the program. Advanced research in biochemistry majors during Colgate’s Bethesda Biomedical Research in the fall of their senior year fulfills the CHEM 481 requirement.
