Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Major in
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Life, at its most fundamental level, consists of chemical processes. At Linfield, biochemistry and molecular biology majors learn how to apply their understanding of the interplay of energy, atoms and molecules to the intricate processes occurring within living cells. You will study within the core sciences of biology and chemistry and will pursue specialized research topics with expert faculty. Many students continue on to further graduate study, to research positions or to medical school.
