Biochemistry

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers majors in chemistry and biochemistry. Biochemistry majors complete an integrated, rigorous program that includes foundational course work in chemistry and biochemistry and additional course work in related fields. Undergraduate majors benefit from taking graduate courses in synthetic modeling, physical chemistry, materials, computational chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and modern instrumental techniques.

The American Chemistry Society-certified degree emphasizes laboratory experience and the development of professional skills. A unique strength of the department is the opportunity for undergraduates to participate in the activities of a dynamic research group that considers problems extending well beyond textbook instruction.

For admission consideration, students from the Jordanian education system should have an average high school academic performance of at least 70 out of 100. If your secondary school uses a different grading scale, please contact us.

Biochemistry majors pursue careers in environment and health, research and development, quality control and regulatory industries, and law and policy. The top occupations for the department's majors are medical scientist, chemist, family and general practitioner, chief executives, teachers, and industrial engineers (source: EMSI).
