Prepare for a successful career in the medical field, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic chemistry, agricultural chemistry, forensics and food science with a biochemistry degree from Adelphi on Long Island.
Biochemistry majors are in demand for many different occupational fields. The bachelor of science in biochemistry will prepare you for graduate work in biochemistry, forensics, pharmacy and biomedical engineering and is an excellent degree for students planning to apply to medical or dental schools.
Our class size was small, so our professors could tailor the courses to our group. The chance to do high-level research starting in my freshman year prepared me well for graduate school and a future career in science.
A minor in chemistry provides students with a general chemistry background and an opportunity for more in-depth study of chemical subdisciplines that include organic, physical, analytical, inorganic and biochemistry.
Biochemistry and chemistry majors at Adelphi have the opportunity to accelerate their path to a rewarding professional career by completing a joint degree in dentistry or engineering. Learn more about the application process for these programs
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education has awarded Adelphi University and Principal Investigator Andrea Ward, PhD, associate provost for research and special projects, a $2.49 million grant for the “Ensuring STEM Student Success Through an Integrative Support Program.”
Adelphi’s annual Research and Creative Works Conference provides a great opportunity for students from all disciplines—many of whom are chemistry and biochemistry students—to showcase their work to faculty and the rest of our community.
Our bachelor’s in biochemistry students have applied their on-campus research knowledge to real-life settings through partnerships with institutions throughout the New York metropolitan area, including:
An Adelphi student working in the chemistry laboratory.
Our research and teaching laboratories provide hands-on experiences for students. As a chemistry/biochemistry major, you will collaborate with faculty who are committed to their role as mentor and teacher—conducting research on state-of-the-art equipment, including:
