About the course

Molecular biology is the basic science that seeks an understanding of biological processes in terms of the properties and functions of the molecules that make up living cells. The scope of questions addressed in molecular biology ranges from evolution to development to the regulation of gene expression. A career in molecular biology requires a strong background in biology as well as a solid foundation in chemistry, mathematics, and physics. The molecular biology major has been designed primarily for three groups of students: those who plan to enter a research career in molecular biology or related areas such as biochemistry, genetics, oncology, microbiology, cell biology or developmental biology, pre-professional students who plan to enter either a research or clinical career in medicine, or allied health fields and students who plan to teach biology at the college or secondary-school levels.
