Stetson University's Biochemistry BS is 32 units and carries ACS certification from the American Chemical Society. With small class sizes and close attention to your needs and interests. You'll experience a comprehensive biochemistry program supported by modern laboratory instrumentation.

Why Biochemistry at Stetson University?

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is accredited by the American Chemical Society to offer students the prestigious ACS-certified degree in either chemistry or biochemistry. You'll study macromolecular structure and function, catalytic strategies of enzymes, DNA replication and repair, and gain a molecular understanding of complex processes like development, disease, and aging.

Small class sizes mean close collaboration with faculty whose research spans structural biology, enzyme kinetics, molecular genetics, and cancer biology. That proximity creates the senior project opportunities and graduate school letters that competitive programs require.
