Program Overview
The major in Cell and Molecular Biology provides students with the opportunity to intensively explore the functions of genes, proteins, and cells at the molecular level; and through lab experiences they will learn state of the art techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), genetic cloning, protein isolation and identification, and more. This program of study will provide excellent preparation for those pursuing advanced degrees, professional healthcare programs, or employment in biotechnology. To enhance professional development and employment potential, students are encouraged to obtain specialized training by participating in basic and applied research in genetics, microbiology, cell and molecular biology, physiology, cancer biology, and more.
