Overview
The goal of the Biochemistry Graduate Program at the University of Vermont is to prepare students for careers in science as both researchers and educators. This is accomplished by expanding knowledge of both chemistry and biochemistry, while cultivating the ability for critical analysis, creativity and independent study.
