Biochemistry Program Description
Loyola University Maryland is proposing a new Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. Loyola wishes to formalize a popular version of its Interdisciplinary Studies major by proposing this new major in Biochemistry. The proposed program  builds on current strengths within the Biology and Chemistry Departments and allows students to gain a broad foundation in concepts and techniques essential for success at the interface between these two disciplines. Students completing the biochemistry program will be prepared for a variety of career opportunities including biomedical research, a range of health professions, and post-graduate education.
