Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology

Molecular biology is an interdisciplinary science combining elements of biochemistry, biophysics, genetics and cell biology. Molecular biology, therefore requires a background in other disciplines such as chemistry, mathematics, physics and computer sciences. Principles from these disciplines underpin the new approaches made possible by biotechnology and genetic engineering. Intending molecular biology majors should have a broad interest in the sciences.
