Biochemistry is a dynamic and growing area in the sciences that integrates the understanding of chemical principles in living organisms. IUP’s biochemistry program offers excellent training and coursework that combine the principles of chemistry and biology with the fundamentals of mathematics and physics. An exciting facet of the Biochemistry BS is the undergraduate research component. This aspect allows a student to work with a faculty member on a novel problem in biochemistry. Very often these students give presentations of their results at national and local scientific conferences.
The IUP Biochemistry degree prepares graduates to pursue various careers in medicine, science and technology, or advanced studies in biochemistry, bioengineering, biotechnology and other related fields. Students who pursue the Biochemistry major simultaneously fulfil all of the science coursework required by most medical schools. Additionally, many IUP Biochemistry graduates have continued their education to earn Ph.D. degrees at highly prestigious graduate programs.
