Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry
Program Overview
Biochemists study the chemistry of life seeking to understand the complex molecules that dictate cellular processes. As a biochemistry major at USD, you will have a strong foundation in chemistry and apply that knowledge to biological systems. Through hands-on learning experiences using research facilities within your coursework and in undergraduate research, our students develop problem-solving skills and think at the molecular level. A biochemistry degree prepares students for a range of professional paths including graduate studies in chemistry, biochemistry, biology or biomedical sciences; professional studies in medicine, pharmacy, or dentistry; and careers in the life sciences, biochemistry, pharmaceutical or biomedical industries. Our faculty will work with you to choose a minor that best complements this degree, keeping your long-term goals in mind.
Biochemistry
Biochemistry focuses on the interface between the traditional disciples of chemistry and biology. Modern research, in industry and academia, is more multidisciplinary than ever. This degree will teach you how to approach large-scale problems in biological systems from the perspective of both disciplines. This will set you on a path toward careers in research, to enter professional schools or in jobs in the pharmaceutical or biomedical industries. We have a long history of undergraduate students and faculty performing high-impact research together.
