The Department
of Chemistry, jointly with the Department of Biology (http://sonhouse.hunter.cuny.edu/), offers a Master
of Arts Degree in Biochemistry that allows students to learn, advance, and
succeed in the exciting and diverse field of biochemistry. The program provides
students with advanced training and research opportunities in biochemistry that
lay a solid foundation for pursuing doctoral studies biochemistry and related
fields or that can lead directly to work in biomedical research, government,
and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. The M.A. degree is
offered either as a terminal degree or as core studies toward the Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry at the City
University of New York. The program is flexible and designed for
students with a baccalaureate degree in biochemistry, chemistry, biology,
chemical engineering or health sciences who are interested in developing a

The course of study toward
the M.A. in Biochemistry typically consists of 10 courses that total 30
credits. Students have the option to
complete the program by doing a research thesis (6 credits of the 30 total) or
by taking a comprehensive exam. Normal completion time is 2 years for full-time
