Biochemistry - Lafayette College

Biochemistry from Lafayette College is a Campus Bachelor Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. Chemistry majors learn to interpret the world through the study of the properties, composition, and structure of matter. They also study the changes that alter the properties of substances and the energy involved in such trans- formations. Students who major in biochemistry focus specifically on the chemical characteristics and reactions of living systems. Both majors are administered by the department of chemistry, which is approved by the American Chemical Society for the professional training of chemists. The program provides sound training in principles and techniques for students who plan careers in chemistry. For those who may have a different career aim, it provides background for understanding the physical world and the problems that face a technological society. One of the great strengths of the department is that you may choose an A.B. or a B.S. degree in biochemistry. Students seeking a B.S. in biochemistry take courses in both chemistry and biology in a structured program. It differs from the A.B. biochemistry degree in requiring more rigorous calculus, physics, and physical chemistry courses, and additional advanced chemistry and biology courses.
