Why Choose Biochemistry at NGU?
- Faith-Shaped Science: This program goes beyond the simple integration of faith and learning. Every aspect of teaching, research, and advising begins with biblical presuppositions, so you’ll learn not only how to think scientifically, but how to think biblically about the natural world. At NGU, we view faith and science as a single entity. When you study biochemistry here, you’re not just preparing for graduate school or a career—you’re learning to see God’s handiwork in creation and to use that knowledge for His purposes and glory.
- Graduate & Career Readiness: Upper-level chemistry courses such as Biochemistry II, Analytical Chemistry (with lab), Inorganic Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry provide the academic preparation needed for medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, or graduate programs.
- Hands-On Learning: In courses like Analytical Chemistry Lab, you’ll gain specialized skills not taught elsewhere on campus, preparing you for both industry jobs and advanced study.
- Expanded Opportunities in Science: As NGU’s second science major, Biochemistry strengthens the overall sciences on campus and reintroduces the Chemistry minor, giving all students more ways to credential and expand their studies.
