Biomolecular Science

About

"I wasn't quite sure what I should major in coming into the application process, but I loved my chemistry and biology classes in high school. I was fascinated by the way the human body works, but at a molecular level. When I visited Clarkson, my conversations and experiences with the faculty in the Chemistry & Biomolecular Science department really helped me finalize my decision to major in Biomolecular Science."

Ana Witkowski, Biomolecular Science undergraduate student
