Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary field involving chemistry, math, the physical sciences, and biology. Biochemists use chemistry and the physical sciences as tools to examine and explore the molecular processes of life. The questions that biochemists address encompass many critical challenges facing humans today, particularly in areas related to the medical sciences, agriculture, and environmental science.
Students with a Biochemistry degree at University of Arizona are well-positioned to pursue careers in medicine; biochemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial research; public health; and law.
Courses include:
- Introduction to Biochemical Research
- Biochemistry
- Biochemical Laboratory Techniques
“Choosing the Master’s program for Physiological Sciences at the University of Arizona was one of the best decisions I could have made in my education. Our department is warm and collaborative, offering an array of research topics and techniques underneath a vast and integrative umbrella of physiology. Beyond my research experience, I was presented with teaching opportunities, which I feel honed my skill of scientific communication. Having the dynamic research/teaching/class schedule not only kept me active but helped me reinforce material in multiple contexts. Overall, this program was exactly what I wanted in my segway into the medical sciences… and with my teaching assistantship paying for my tuition, how could I say no?”
