The biochemistry major explores the cross-disciplinary link between the natural world and artificial chemical processes. Biochemistry helps increase our understanding of disease, genetics, DNA, and evolution. Supported by professors with vibrant industry connections, you'll graduate with strong, marketable skills and distinguished research projects that will set you on the inside track in a variety of industries ranging from research, health, biotechnology, chemical, and agri-food.
While at Widener, your education begins in small, rigorous classes and labs where you'll train in the theoretical and practical aspects of biology, chemistry, and their interconnections. As a biochemistry major, you'll get involved in research as early as your first year, collaborating with distinguished faculty members on diverse projects. You'll even have the chance to present your findings at professional conferences.
