Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biochemistry] From Ohio Wesleyan University

We study the structures of the various classes of biomolecules, how their activity is affected by their structures, and how they interact with one another in an incredibly complex and dynamic array of metabolic processes that transfer, store, and release energy to meet the needs of the organism.

The Basic Biochemistry major provides great depth in the biochemical aspects of chemistry and prepares students to enter graduate programs in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology, or to enter the chemical industry.

Conduct independent research under the guidance of a faculty member in areas as diverse as computer modeling, synthesis and analysis of inorganic complexes, design and testing of probes for environmental analysis, synthesis of complex organic molecules, and chemical modification of proteins.

Participate in the Summer Science Research Program, a 10-week intensive program, and present your results at the Patricia Belt Conrades Summer Science Research Symposium in the fall.
