Biochemistry is a dynamic major with diverse career opportunities, from medicine to consumer products to pharmaceuticals and beyond. Siena's biochemistry program offers small, faculty-taught classes (our labs have a maximum of 16 students!) with an emphasis on undergraduate research.
As a Siena biochemistry major, you'll have opportunities that you won't find at many other undergraduate biochemistry programs such as working with faculty on competitive research grants, presenting at professional conferences and getting experience on the same scientific instruments used in industry. You can count on developing the critical thinking, communication, research, advanced instrumentation, data analysis and technical writing skills needed to succeed in a competitive grad program or your career.
