生物化学与生物技术计划提供的学术课程可导致学生获得生物化学与生物技术的学士学位或硕士学位。这些学位是与生物系以及化学与生物化学系合作提供的。该计划的教职人员从事生物化学，遗传学，分子生物学，细胞生物学和发育生物学等领域的教学和研究。专业人士有机会通过课程，实验室，研讨会和研究经验来发展进入劳动力市场或继续深造的必要知识和技能。
Biochemistry studies the intersection of biology and chemistry, exploring life at the molecular level. Biotechnology combines chemistry and biology with mathematics and physics to provide the tools for modern biology and biomedical research. Biotechnology is also used to study and alter genetic information in animals, allowing human diseases to be studied and modeled, and in plants, with agricultural benefits.<br>The BS in Biochemistry and Biotechnology allows students to develop the skills necessary to enter the biotechnology and life sciences workforce or to pursue further studies at the professional or graduate level. Students receive solid foundations in both chemistry and biology, as well as the opportunity to specialize within the rapidly growing fields of biochemistry and biotechnology.<br>The Biology Department ranks in the top 20 percent of the nation's research institutions, based on scholarly productivity and federal research grant funding. Both biology and chemistry students have the opportunity to engage in hands-on research projects under the guidance of faculty.
