Biomolecular Science (BS)
Program Descriptions
Biomolecular science exists at the interface between biology and chemistry. Scientists working in this area can have major impacts on society. Genetically-modified crops reduce food insecurity. Novel therapies, such as artificial organs, extend life. Inexpensive and renewable energy sources (like oil from algae) and bioremediation help address the problems of climate change and environmental degradation. A BS in Biomolecular Science is also a suitable starting point for careers in medicine. Our program was developed in cooperation with deans from major medical schools, and graduates have gone on to Harvard Dental School, Mount Sinai Medical School, and NYU Medical School, among other prestigious programs.
Our BS program in Biomolecular Science allows students to join their efforts to improve the world. The first two years of the program focus on core courses to provide a solid foundation in the fundamentals of science — math, physics, chemistry, and biology. From there, students can concentrate their studies in biomedical science or biotechnology.
