Student Learning Objectives

Learning objectives that UAlbany students are expected to attain through their course of study within their academic program.

All applicants must arrange for their official school and/or college transcripts to be sent to us.

• First-year (freshmen) applicants: You must submit an official transcript from your secondary school for admissions purposes.

• Transfer applicants: You must submit official transcripts of all college and/or university work, even if you don't expect to receive transfer credit. If you've completed fewer than 24 transferable college credits, you'll also need to submit an official transcript from your secondary school for admissions purposes.

If you are admitted, you will also need to submit an official final transcript from your secondary school showing your date of graduation.

Academic transcripts in languages other than English must be accompanied by an official, certified English translation.

All transcripts should be sent to:

Office of International Admissions & Recruitment
University at Albany Science Library G 40
1400 Washington Avenue
Albany, NY 12222 USA

Transcript Evaluation 

A transcript evaluation allows the review committee to correctly compare the quality of your school, coursework and grades with all other applicants. 

Although not required, we accept SpanTran or WES evaluations sent from the organization directly to the University at Albany.

Other evaluation services can only be used if they require official documents directly from the institution of higher education, not the student, to evaluate coursework. The organization must also be accredited by NACES.

Earning a BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is a great first step toward a career in the life sciences, as well as a path for further study in either graduate or professional school. Building a strong science background, potential job titles range from lab positions to medical careers, depending on your path of specialized training:

• Doctor
• Chemist
• Chemical Engineer
• Research Scientist
• Pharmaceutical Researcher
• Physician Assistant
