Prepare men and women of character to begin a careers as a biochemists, enter professional schools, or continue on to graduate schools in the biochemical, chemical or biological sciences. This preparation includes study of each of the subdisciplines of chemistry with a focus on in-depth study of biochemistry, from fundamental principals to recent discoveries, and opportunities to participate in undergraduate research.
Expected Learning Outcomes
1. Graduates of this program will have demonstrated a mastery of biochemistry at a level that will allow them to succeed as graduate students in biochemistry or related fields, as students in professional schools, or as entry-level employees in government or industry. This broad outcome is further elaborated in outcomes 2 – 8.
2. Program graduates will have demonstrated a mastery of key concepts in the five chemistry subdisciplines: analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry. The mix of these concepts must reflect the current state of the discipline.
3. Program graduates will be able to articulate an understanding of the relationships between chemistry and the biological sciences.
4. Program graduates will be able to perform basic chemistry laboratory procedures used in inorganic and small molecule analysis, and organic synthesis.
5. Program graduates will be able to perform basic biochemistry laboratory procedures used in the manipulation and analysis of proteins and nucleic acids.
6. Program graduates will be able to communicate the results of scientific experiments in oral reports, technical graphics, and written reports.
7. Program graduates will be able to search the chemical literature for published work relevant to a project of interest, and to read and understand technical literature related to the discipline.
8. Program graduates will be able to draw on classroom knowledge to contribute to solutions of problems encountered in a research laboratory.
9. Students approaching the end of their course of study will be able to make informed choices among post-graduate opportunities for work or further education.
10. Graduates will understand professional and scientific ethics.
11. Graduates will appreciate the role of faith in God by scientists. This outcome stands apart, but it is an important aim of a BYU education.
