Biochemistry Programs at Michigan State University

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) at Michigan State University offers sophisticated instruction in modern biology, molecular genetics and biotechnology. The biochemistry and molecular biology major combines the elements of a liberal education with thorough preparation in biochemistry and molecular biology and the underlying principles of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics.
The masters programs help students to develop their creative potential and to prepare them for careers in research and teaching in the biochemical sciences. Students' programs of study are designed to develop independent thought as well as broad knowledge and technical skills, through formal and informal courses, laboratory experience, seminars, individual study, and, foremost, through original research that forms the basis for the student's thesis or dissertation.
