The Master of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences equips you with advanced training in cellular processes and cutting-edge biotechnology. This biochemistry master’s degree enables you to conduct thesis-based research in fully equipped labs and prepare for careers in pharmaceuticals, biomedical research, or continued PhD or MD study.
Program highlights:
Medical Research Laboratories: All research and teaching laboratories are required to employ a graduate laboratory supervisor to oversee the facility.
Government Agencies: The National Institutes of Health, US Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, US Department of Agriculture, and individual state laboratories employ skilled personnel for basic research and analysis of food, drugs, air, water, wastes, and animal tissue samples.
Biotechnology: The field offers excellent career opportunities for people trained in the molecular life sciences, with opportunities across a spectrum of many industries:
Non-Traditional Careers: Biochemists and molecular biologists enjoy fulfilling careers in management, science policy, science writing, and medical illustration.
Education: Science teachers with molecular life science degrees are in high demand at junior high and high schools.
The Master of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is a 34-credit, thesis-based graduate degree completed in three semesters. Most students continue on to a PhD or MD degree. Our program offers the Opportunity for students to pursue research on a variety of topics at Pace University, the Department of Neuronal Cell Signaling at Weill Cornell Medical College, or the University of Technology Sydney.
