In the BA/MS program, Clark Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BCMB) majors have an opportunity to apply their classroom learning to the research laboratory - and obtain an MS degree by intensive engagement in research for two years, one as a senior and one as a graduate student. The goal is to prepare students for further graduate study in a PhD program, for medical/veterinary/dental school, as well as prepare students for a career in biochemistry or molecular biology.
