Biochemistry is the chemistry of living systems. Biochemists are scientists who seek to explain how “lifeless” molecules work together to make “living” organisms.
Why Choose Biochemistry?
Biochemistry is a unique discipline that combines chemistry and biology. In this major you will be introduced to biological molecules and learn why they are essential for life. Biochemists study biological molecules and the chemistry that defines a living organism. You will learn to understand the biochemistry of living through coursework and hands-on laboratory components.
Faculty
Unlike what you may find at a large research institution, the biochemistry faculty at Manhattan College give each student personal attention and are focused on teaching undergraduate students exclusively. Our faculty are here because they are great teachers and because they love to teach. As a biochemistry major, your courses will be taught by faculty members, never graduate students. And our small class sizes mean that you will really get to know your professors and they will get to know you, and how to best help you succeed.
Undergraduate Research
As an undergraduate student, you will have the opportunity to do hands-on research directly with a faculty member, an experience that students at larger institutions may not have until graduate school.
