Undergraduate Degree Options

The Biochemistry Program at the University of Montana offers three undergraduate degrees options and a minor in biochemistry:

Biochemistry degrees provide students with a strong grounding in both chemistry and biology with coursework in biochemistry beginning with our first year course BCH 110/111: Biochemistry of Life. All majors participate in a 2nd year Biochemistry Seminar and complete a year-long sequence in Advanced Biochemistry as a junior or senior.

Undergraduate Research

Our internationally-recognized faculty members have vigorous research programs which provide opportunities for our undergraduate majors to become involved in exciting research projects as part of their undergraduate studies. Biochemistry majors are introduced to our faculty and their research in our second year seminar class, BCH 294. Many students present their research at the annual undergraduate research symposium during the spring semester.
