Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

California Baptist University

A major in biochemistry and molecular biology is rigorous and comprehensive because it combines the academic preparation of both the biology and chemistry major.At CBU, professors are dedicated to their students, and every major class and lab is taught by a full-time faculty member. In both classes and research, students can use our state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. All courses in this major are purposefully chosen so students can experience the interface of the biological and chemical sciences. We designed two courses specifically for the BMB major "Proteomics, Genomics and Bioinformatics'' and ''Lab Techniques in Molecular Biology.'' Most universities do not offer these specialized courses for undergraduate majors.Students will be able to evaluate matters of worldview, intellectual virtues (i.e. critical thinking) and assessing disciplinary content consistent with biblical teachings.Students will be able to use the peer reviewed scientific literature effectively and evaluate technical articles critically.Students will demonstrate proficiency in accurately conveying scientific data both orally and in writing.Upon completion of each year of chemistry coursework (general, organic, analytical and physical), students will attain knowledge comparable to national standards in these areas of chemistry.
