Preparing students for exciting and productive scientific careers through our undergraduate and graduate training programs is a high priority in the Department. Our undergrad students who earn bachelor degrees in biochemistry obtain positions in biotechnology, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries or hospitals and government labs. Many continue their education in medical, dental, veterinary, or law schools or obtain Ph.D. degrees in the molecular life sciences from some of the finest institutions in the country. We are also very proud of the careers and scientific accomplishments of the graduates from our Ph.D. program. As you can see from the representative list below, alumni from our graduate program have been remarkably successful in a wide variety of scientific careers.
