关于生物化学
At its core, 生物化学 examines the complex makeup of living organisms. But biochemistry is much more than that – it affects nearly every aspect of our lives.
生物化学家s examine the structure 和 reactions of the molecules that combine to create living things 和 their biological processes. 生物化学 provides explanations for the causes of many diseases. 生物化学家s work towards cures 和 treatments for disease. The study of biochemistry is especially beneficial if you are interested in a career path in medicine, 药店。, 营养, 农业和粮食系统.
研究
Many aspiring scientists have to wait until graduate school to begin conducting original research. But as a Converse biochemistry major, you’ll be exposed to research opportunities as an undergraduate. Working independently or side-by-side with faculty mentors, our students have won awards at state, 区域, 以及全国性的会议. 100% of our 生物化学 students work with their faculty to complete research projects by the time they graduate.
事实上, Converse is a leader in the state in the number of student/faculty research proposals funded by the South Carolina Independent Colleges 和 Universities (SCICU) consortium.
实习
作为一个生物化学专业的学生, you can gain intensive training through internships, 阴影, or undergraduate summer research experience.
生物学荣誉学会
Beta Beta Beta (TriBeta) Biological Honor Society was established in 1922 at Oklahoma City University for students interested in the biological sciences. The Nu Xi Chapter of TriBeta was founded in 2009 at Converse College by Dr. Neval Erturk. Its top priority is to spread scientific knowledge 和 to encourage student research. TriBeta Nu Xi activities have included hosting speakers (science experts), 科研奖学金竞赛, hosting biology-related games for the campus community.
Through completion of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in 生物化学, you will acquire an intermediate underst和ing of fundamental biochemical principles 和 integrate these with principles from major areas of chemistry (analytical chemistry, 无机化学, 有机化学, physical chemistry) 和 biology (cellular biology, 生物的生物学, 遗传学及分子生物学). You will learn laboratory 和 communication skills preparing you to be a biochemist. Our coursework will engage you in the scientific process 和 help you achieve an advanced underst和ing of research, 方法, 和分析.
A degree in biochemistry will prepare you to pursue a career in research, teaching or in health professions such as medicine, 物理治疗, 护理, 兽医, 还有很多其他的.
All biochemistry 专业 receive research experience, you will 给 scientific presentations in the Junior 和 Senior Seminar courses.
