Program Overview

A master's degree in Biochemistry and Biophysics from Rensselaer prepares students for jobs in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and other related industry sectors. It is also well suited to students wishing to upgrade their skills while employed in industry, or to obtain additional training prior to proceeding to professional study in medicine, veterinary science, dentistry, law, business, etc. Those with a B.S. degree in a field not closely related to modern biological science may also benefit from the program.

Thirty credit hours of course work are necessary to complete the M.S. program. The master’s in BCBP can be a Thesis-based master’s, or a professional project-based master’s.

A total of 15 or more credits (including thesis or project) must be at 6000 level with the rest at 4000 or above, and 15 or more must have the BIOL, BCBP, CHEM or PHYS prefix. Eight credits must be BCBP modules. A thesis or professional project based on original research or internship is required.
