Master of Arts in Biochemistry
General Program Information
The MA program combines didactic coursework and bench research, the latter culminating in submission of a thesis. Each new student consults with an assigned advisor during the orientation period prior to the start of the fall semester to plan the first year’s program that includes completion of two laboratory rotations prior to finalizing the decision as to the laboratory in which the thesis work will be performed.
