Biochemistry, M.S.

Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary field, and the foundation of biology, medicine, and pharmacology. Medical research relies on biochemistry to identify the pathology of diseases and understand how our bodies react and change at the cellular level. Called the “chemistry of life,” biochemists delve into the complex, chemical reactions that occur inside living organisms such as the study of amino acids and proteins, sugars, or DNA and RNA.With a master’s in biochemistry from Florida Tech, graduates obtain expertise to enter challenging careers in medicine, veterinary medicine, blood analysis, detection of biomarkers for early disease diagnosis, and pharmaceutical research. In addition, the American Chemical Society accredits the master’s in biochemistry program.

GRE scores from both the general and subject tests in chemistry are recommended but not required. All admitted students are enrolled in the nonthesis option by default. Applicants must have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.0 as an undergraduate in order to be considered for admission to a Florida Tech master's degree program. Transcripts from a non-US institution are internally recalculated to meet this threshold. Résumé/CV, transcripts
