Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biochemistry (ACS Approved)] From Andrews University

The mission of the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry within the context of a Seventh-day Adventist Christian worldview is to assist all students to excel in developing their analytical and critical reasoning skills, using fundamental chemical principles and computational methods; prepare our chemistry and biochemistry majors to enter graduate school, professional school, the chemical industry, or the teaching profession, in a diverse world; develop in our students an understanding of responsible, environmentally sensitive use of global resources; engage students and faculty in the process of discovery and creativity in the research lab and the classroom to model a life of personal and professional integrity.

Students are encouraged to plan early for an on-campus or off-campus research experience required of all students in the Bachelor of Science degree programs in chemistry and biochemistry (ACS) and strongly recommended for those in the Bachelor of Science degree program in biochemistry. This experience may take the form of a cooperative educational research experience or research in an academic, industrial, or governmental laboratory setting. Interested students should consult the department chair.
