Master of Science in Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology| NYC
PREPARE FOR YOUR CAREER IN RESEARCH AND BEYOND
The Master of Science (MS) in biochemistry and molecular biology provides
students with a solid grounding in modern applications of biochemistry and
molecular biology.
Candidates in this program are supported by two strong academic
departments, chemistry and biology, whose faculty members combine
exceptional teaching skills with pioneering published research in their
respective fields, and fully equipped laboratory facilities with innovative
equipment.
Students with a BS in biology, chemistry, or biochemistry, preferably with
experience in physical chemistry, physics and mathematics may enter the
master’s degree program. It is preferred that future MS candidates have had
some research experience in their undergraduate careers.
