What sets our program apart is the integration of expertise from both the Biology and Chemistry Departments, ensuring a comprehensive education led by seasoned scientists.
Push the boundaries of medicine and science
Our graduates are equipped to excel in various paths, whether it’s pursuing advanced studies in the sciences, entering health-related fields at some of the top medical schools, or pursuing pharmaceutical research and discovery in industry. Some students even combine passions by branching into business, teaching or law. Our approach is designed to prepare you well for your next step.
Outside the Classroom
Majors and faculty have opportunities to continue their education and socialize outside of the classroom. BCMB majors often attend the monthly teas hosted by the Chemistry Department, and BCMB hosts several events of its own. Ursinus is one of a small (less than hundred schools) number of schools to have a chapter of the Undergraduate Affiliate Network (UAN) of the American Society from Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB), one of the largest scientific organizations in these fields. Ursinus has a student chapter of the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) and we are one of even a more select number of schools to have a chapter of Chi Omega Lambda ΧΩΛ, the ASBMB Undergraduate Honor Society. These chapters provide our students with outside-the-classroom opportunities, access to scholarships and travel to conferences as a result.
