We are a community of student scholars and academics pursuing a rigorous and interdisciplinary approach to biology with a focus on events that occur at the cellular and biochemical levels. Our graduates become world-class scientists, doctors and other types of health professionals. Most students interested in working as health professionals (in medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, pharmacy and veterinary) choose this major. We have an excellent track record of getting students into their choice of medical and graduate schools; in the past five years, we have had an almost 95 percent acceptance rate.
The purpose of the molecular biology/biochemistry program is to provide our students with an excellent education in this field within the setting of a broad liberal arts education. As a student in this program, you will:
Thirteen Goshen College students participated in this year’s Maple Scholars research program, an eight-week program which gives undergraduate students the unique opportunity to create and present scholarly works.
