Biochemistry Program Description |
Supporting McDaniel’s commitment to excellence in the sciences and professional studies, the proposed Biochemistry major is an interdisciplinary major that will encompass many of the core classes required for students entering graduate school in Biochemistry or those entering the Biochemical workforce. Because of the increasing internal and external interest in the field of Biochemistry, McDaniel intends to offer this proposed major to replace the current Biochemistry specialization track within the existing Chemistry major. In addition, this major offers an experiential learning component in line with McDaniel’s Mission. This experiential learning requirement will allow students to obtain the knowledge necessary to gain admission to graduate programs and succeed in the biochemical workforce. |
