Department of Biology, Biochemistry, & Chemistry

If you’ve ever wondered how the human body works, what’s inside a cell, or how chemistry shapes the world around you, you’re in the right place. The Department of Biology, Biochemistry, & Chemistry, Biochemistry, & Chemistry gives you a rigorous science foundation and the flexibility to chase exactly the career you want — whether that’s medical school, a lab coat, a classroom, or a hospital records office.

You can choose a B.A. or B.S. in Biology (with built-in tracks in Medical Imaging and Medical Laboratory Science), a B.S. in Biochemistry or Chemistry, a B.S. in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, or a B.S. in Health Information Management. However you start, you’ll get small classes, real lab time, and faculty who know your name and your goals.

What makes this department different is its partnerships. We’ve built direct pipelines into some of the best professional programs in the region — Rutgers University’s School of Health Professions, Seton Hall University, Saint Joseph’s University, the University of Saint Joseph, St. George’s University, and Western Atlantic University School of Medicine. That means your path from a GCU classroom to medical school, pharmacy school, or a Registered Health Information Administrator credential is mapped out before you even declare your major.
