Biochemistry focuses on the chemical basis of biological processes. Students receive fundamental education in biochemistry, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary program that applies fundamental biochemical and molecular biological approaches to problems in medicine, agriculture, and environmental sciences. The department supports student interest in computational molecular modeling, bioinformatics, and genomics. All students are strongly encouraged to participate in undergraduate research with one or more faculty members. Through experiential learning, students are able to creatively use the skills and knowledge obtained through their in-major coursework to better prepare themselves for the future. Graduates receive a bachelor of science degree and are prepared for employment as well as for admission to graduate programs (M.S. and Ph.D.) and professional schools in medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine.

Entry Requirements
International Baccalaureate Education System
Virginia Tech encourages prospective students to seek the most challenging high school courses possible. Students taking International Baccalaureate (IB) courses will be considered competitive for freshman admissions. An applicant's entire academic profile will be reviewed holistically.
To receive credit for International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations, an official transcript of examination results should be forward to the Registrar's Office directly from the issuing institution. To determine how many credits you may receive please visit the Registrar's website.
All first-year and transfer students accepting admission to Virginia Tech and seeking college credits for IB examinations must arrange for an official transcript of examination results to be sent to Virginia Tech by the IB Offices once available.
