Upon completion of the Biochemistry minor, students will be able to:

  1. Appraise and articulate biochemical processes based on the fundamentals of organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and biology as part of an integral and quality education.
  2. Construct and employ effective and safe laboratory skills utilizing modern scientific instrumentation and techniques.
