Five Year B.S./M.S. in Biochemistry

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers the opportunity for Biochemistry students to participate in an accelerated curriculum that leads to both the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. This curriculum follows the normal B.S. degree for three years, but adds two graduate level courses during their fourth year that are applied to the subsequent M.S. program. These graduate courses cannot be included in the student's B.S. degree program. The fifth year includes three graduate courses, research credits, and the Masters Thesis.

Student's Research Adventure - 2009

Aleksandra Obradov in the Netherlands

 

For this summer I created a fantastic two month research and travel experience. Last year I began emailing research directors who were conducting interesting projects all throughout Europe (I really wanted to go abroad). After hearing back from a few, I decided that the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands was the best fit.
