Arizona State University - Kaplan International

STEM-classified degree: graduates are eligible for 3 years of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the USA. This degree offered in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the university’s largest and most diverse college. Students in the Bachelor of Science program in biochemistry with a concentration in medicinal chemistry gain in-depth understanding of basic chemistry, biomolecular properties and function, and mechanisms that govern cellular function. They develop the knowledge required to apply chemical and biochemical principles to drug design and functionality, with a specific focus on medicinal chemistry. The curriculum comprises traditional coursework with a concentration in medicinal chemistry, combining lectures and laboratory sessions to provide a strong foundation in chemistry and biology. The program emphasizes the application of chemical and biochemical thinking to the design and mechanisms of medicines. Students are encouraged to participate in faculty research groups and labs, which offer hands-on research experiences in the field of medicinal chemistry.Students in the Bachelor of Science program in biochemistry with a concentration in medicinal chemistry gain in-depth understanding of basic chemistry, biomolecular properties and function, and mechanisms that govern cellular function.
