Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Major

Meet the Faculty

The biochemistry/molecular biology major is an interdepartmental major offered by the biology and chemistry departments that provides students with a strong background in chemistry and biology with an emphasis on molecular aspects. Through selected electives, students may concentrate on specific areas of interest. Students have excellent opportunities within the departments of biology and chemistry to engage in independent research projects. Graduates are prepared to pursue employment in biochemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological laboratories, and further study in the health professions or graduate research institutions. Note that biochemistry/molecular biology majors may not double major, or minor, in biology or chemistry. To declare this major, a student must have a minimum 2.0 GPA in at least two (2) of the courses taken at Rollins listed in the major requirements. At least seven (7) courses required for the Biochemistry/Molecular Biology major must be taken at Rollins College or as part of a Rollins sanctioned program.
