Bachelor of Science (BS) in Biochemistry

Loyola University of Chicago

The Department of Chemistry features strong programs in both undergraduate and graduate education. We offer BS degrees accredited by the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Chemistry and in Biochemistry as well as BA degrees and minors in chemistry. Many undergraduate chemistry majors participate in the student affiliate of the American Chemical Society. Numerous opportunities for undergraduate research also exist and students are encouraged to participate in faculty directed research projects.The Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry offers four undergraduate major degree programs: BA in Chemistry, BA in Biochemistry, BS in Chemistry, and the BS in Biochemistry. These programs follow prescribed professional guidelines and the CHEM-BS degree is approved by the American Chemical Society. Loyola programs are unique because of the close contact between students and faculty, due to smaller class sizes in advanced classes. Chemistry & Biochemistry faculty members spend significant time assisting students both in and out of the classroom. Loyola's Bachelor of Science (BS) degree programs in Chemistry or Biochemistry offer opportunities to excel in a fundamental area of science. The prestige of these programs is based on the success of students in developing their goals for work in industry, academia, and/or diverse professional schools and in adopting the Loyola mission of applying knowledge in the service of humanity.
