By virtually any measure, the undergraduate programs in the University Department of Biochemistry are truly outstanding. The Department is currently focused on strengthening the graduate programs. We have submitted a proposal to the NIH to support a new graduate training program in Biological Chemistry, and will be developing a program in Molecular Biophysics. To enrich both the undergraduate and graduate programs, the Department has initiated a special accelerated Master of Science program for academically superior undergraduate students who desire to pursue a career in biochemistry or biotechnology. The Master of Science in Biochemistry offers an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students who have engaged in research to continue that research as they pursue a graduate degree.
Research is the core of the intellectual activity in the department.
Excellent programs continue to flourish at the frontiers of modern molecular life science, and span a broad range of topics. The breadth of research activities in the department makes this a very exciting environment. However, the Department continues to excel in the area of outreach. As we move into the next millennium, the University Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics is justifiably proud of its history, and excited about the bright future of the broad areas of molecular life sciences.
