Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry

Program Description

The Biochemistry program at Bishop's is coordinated through an interdisciplinary committee of chemists, biochemists and biologists, providing students with a strong background in chemistry, biochemistry, and biology. Students enrolling in the Biochemistry program will be able to follow a course of study that best meets their interests, strengths and future needs. This is accomplished through the offering of three program specializations – General, Molecular Biology, or Chemistry – any one of which the student will select to complete their Biochemistry program requirements. The goal of the General specialization is to provide a broad background in several relevant fields of biology, biochemistry and chemistry. The Molecular Biology specialization places greater emphasis on the molecular and cellular fields of study. The Chemistry specialization is more focused in chemistry and, by selecting the appropriate courses, can provide the student with the necessary academic requirements for membership in the Chemical Institute of Canada and accreditation by l’Ordre des chimistes du Québec.
