Biochemical Research - Case Western Reserve University

Biochemical Research from Case Western Reserve University is a Campus Master Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. The Biochemistry Department offers M.S. degree each with different degree requirements. A three year program with heavy emphasis on research leads to a Master's of Science in Biochemical Research. Students with the Biochemical Research degree are well-suited for positions in academic, government, hospital, and industrial laboratories. M.S. students may transfer into the Ph.D. program but they must have performed well in their coursework and displayed significant research potential. M.S. students can be admitted in either the fall or spring. Deadlines for completed applications are June 15 for fall semester and November 1 for spring semester. The M.S. program is independent of the Ph.D. program and students are evaluated by different committees. For M.S. application students should submit a completed application form, three letters of recommendation, official undergraduate transcript(s), official GRE scores (Verbal, Quantitative and Analytical) and, when applicable, official TOEFL scores. M.S. in Biochemical Research Degree Requirements Students take courses, engage in research, and participate in formal and informal seminars. Participation in seminars is similar to that of Ph.D. students. Students usually take one course in each of the first four semesters with the remaining time spent in the laboratory. The only required course is "General Biochemistry". The remaining courses are selected by the student and the advisory committee to provide a coordinated and well-rounded program with specificity in molecular biology, protein chemistry, metabolism, or structural biology. Students spend the majority of their time conducting independent research with input from an advisory committee. This committee is composed of three faculty members chosen for the student during the first year. It provides scientific expertise, offers support in overcoming research difficulties, and evaluates the student's progress. View more details on Case Western Reserve University .
