Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics
Biochemistry at K-State
The department of biochemistry and molecular biophysics offers Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in biochemistry.
- The specialized track in medical biochemistry is aimed at creating successful programs of study for students in pre-medical, pre-veterinary, pre-dental or pre-nursing majors.
- The molecular biophysics track develops a unique skillset for students desiring careers in basic research with additional quantitative and biophysical experience.
- A combined B.S./M.S. degree provides undergraduate students an opportunity to obtain both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in biochemistry in five years.
- The master's and doctoratal programs accommodate students with a wide range of backgrounds, including genetics, microbiology, physics, and medicine as well as the traditional chemistry, biochemistry and biology degrees.
Department Achievements
The biochemistry department offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in biochemistry or medical biochemistry, as well as a bachelor's of Science in biochemistry and molecular biophysics.
The K-State graduate program in biochemistry and molecular biophysics is an interdisciplinary program including 22 faculty mentors representing six departments. Both a master's and a doctorate level option are available.
Scholarships and funds are awarded annually, many are renewable for recipients that continue as biochemistry majors who remain in good academic standing.
