These degrees provide a deep learning into the fundamentals of chemistry with significant emphasis on biochemistry, coupled with hands-on lab experiences and use of instrumentation, and provide a firm background for entering industry or pursuing advanced (PhD, MS) degrees. They are also excellent choice of a degree to go onto professional health-care schools (Medicine, Pharmacy, Veterinary, Dental, Optometry, etc).

"EIU did a great job of helping me learn a good foundation in science and even more importantly I gained critical experience in evaluating often very difficult problems. Both the junior and senior seminars that we were required to give allowed me to really understand critically evaluating basic and clinical science research."Scott Keller, M.D.Biochemistry | Class of 2008 | Attending Radiologist at The Guthrie Clinic
Biochemistry is at the interface of biology and chemistry, focusing on explaining living systems at the cellular and chemical level. The biochemistry major at Eastern is built upon and fosters strong student-faculty interactions through small classes and collaborative research opportunities as well as through substantial hands-on learning experiences using state-of-the art instruments, equipment, and software.
