Overview

Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

The biochemistry and molecular biology degree gives you the foundation to further your study in medicine, pharmacy, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology.

You will begin your studies with a broad range of courses in natural sciences, followed by an introduction to biochemistry in your second year

In the third year, explore DNA – the blueprint of life; proteins – the machines that make bodies work; and a wide range of other molecular topics.

Your degree culminates in your fourth year with courses in oncology, the evolution of life, advanced genetics, and much more. 

Acquire the necessary expertise in the foundations of biochemistry, such as organic and physical chemistry.

The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Biology B.Sc. Program combines the rigor of chemistry with the fascination of living systems, and is, therefore, the traditional major for students with biomedical interests.

Finally, your degree culminates in the fourth year with courses that let you see why BCMB is the largest and most dynamic scientific discipline

One of the outstanding features of the BCMB program is the opportunity to work in research labs from your first day on campus. 

In contrast to larger universities, where it is often difficult for undergraduates to even talk to professors, UNBC's faculty welcome undergraduates to become involved in their research

The BCMB professors maintain vigorous research programs in areas such as RNA metabolism, cancer biology, beetle pheromones, plant genetics, and salmon physiology.
