With a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from East Stroudsburg University, you can
learn about the chemical processes that take place in living things.
Research in nutrition, physiology, and the environmental and health sciences is now
based on biochemical ideas and methodologies. Graduates of the 120-credit program
are prepared for advanced study in biochemistry, bioengineering, biotechnology, cell
biology, and other related fields, as well as a variety of careers in science, medicine,
and technology.
Why ESU?
- Small class sizes
- Safe, modern, well-equipped facilities
- Practical field experiences
- Qualified, experienced faculty
- Varied lab courses on the chemistry/biology interface
The foundations of physics, mathematics, and biology are combined with chemistry and
biology principles in the biochemistry curriculum. Whereas biology investigates the
science of life and living things, chemistry is the study of atoms' structure and
composition. You will study how chemical bonds allow atoms and molecules to combine
to form new chemical compounds. Students will then delve further into the chemical
processes necessary for the existence of living things, including their physical makeup,
functions, and chemical composition.
In the classroom, faculty members promote hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology.
In addition, you'll develop your practical research and teamwork skills while solving
real-world problems in cutting-edge laboratories. Students majoring in biochemistry
participate in cutting-edge research, innovative scientific discoveries, and novel
insights that advance society.
What You'll Learn
- The materials of life itself
- Exploring submicroscopic nature
- Investigating
- Chemical secrets of biology
- Developing laboratory skills
- A young and rapidly-changing sub-discipline
Career Development at ESU
