Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biophysical Chemistry] From James Madison University

Students take foundational lecture and laboratory courses in all sub-disciplines of chemistry ? analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical ? as well as biology, calculus and physics. The major is capped by biophysical chemistry, a two semester sequence of laboratories and lecture.

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry from James Madison University offers the B.S. Biophysical Chemistry degree for a major in chemistry, with concentrations that meet the American Chemical Society Accredited Programs requirements for programs in biochemistry, materials chemistry and in chemistry/chemical education. In addition, the department offers a B.S. degree in biophysical chemistry. It also offers minors in chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology, and materials science.?

The programs are designed to provide the theoretical and practical instruction in chemistry and related areas to prepare students for careers in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, dentistry, paramedical areas, forensic sciences, chemical engineering and other technology based areas. The department also recognizes its responsibility to provide courses for non-chemistry majors who need a basic understanding of the principles of chemistry either for their chosen major or their general education.
