Biochemistry is a marriage between biology and chemistry, allowing you to use chemistry tools to examine living processes with great detail. At Bellarmine, you will test-drive biochemistry in your first year in a seminar course covering disease-based case studies. Normally, students do not take biochemistry until their third year. Students have the opportunity to take electives from both the Biology and Chemistry departments, including Gross Anatomy and Medicinal Chemistry. Choosing electives from both chemistry and biology allows students to individualize their education to best suit their career goals. Knowledge is powerful, but hands-on experience is vital to learning science. Our faculty in both biology and chemistry are engaged in active research projects involving undergraduate students. Our students attend national meetings every year to present their work.
The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Program at Bellarmine University retains the fundamental goals of a liberal arts education while allowing students to immerse their studies in the sciences. The program is designed to introduce the fundamental knowledge of the sciences by concept-based learning and to stimulate creative thinking and effective problem-solving through scientific experimentation. The program requires two years of chemistry, one year of physics, one year of math and one year of biology before embarking into the upper-level biochemistry courses during the junior and senior years.
