Undergraduate Academic Accelerator Pathway (2-Term) - Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry

at Shorelight Group - University of Dayton USA

Our students are immersed in a challenging academic experience that combines theory and practice. You begin in the classroom learning the foundations of biology, but quickly find yourself discovering antibiotic-producing bacteria, wading through wetlands, exploring behavioral neuroscience, analyzing real-time physiological data collected on classmates, or studying patterns of evolution in fruit flies.

The science facilities at University of Dayton’s Science Center complex include the latest equipment. As a graduate student, you’ll gain firsthand experience with nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, high pressure liquid chromatography equipment and more. Students may choose to pursue projects in all major chemistry sub-disciplines.

Thesis* or non-thesis options available:

• Biochemistry
• Organic chemistry
• Inorganic chemistry
• Analytical chemistry
• Physical chemistry

In addition to our rigorous academic program, students are provided with many opportunities to work side-by-side with faculty on research projects such as developing improved flame retardants, studying biodegradation of polymer coatings and discovering new photodynamic lung cancer treatments. Recent graduates are employed as scientists in academia, industry and government, or pursuing postgraduate education.

Our focus is to advance the state-of-art design of civil systems and lead efforts in sustainable infrastructure development. In our program, you’ll gain firsthand experience working with international faculty. Sponsors such as the National Science Foundation, the Ohio Department of Transportation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and more, offer hands on opportunities for UD students.

Areas of emphasis include:

• Composites
• Engineering Mechanics
• Environmental
• Geotechnical
• Transportation
• Water resources

The LLM program focuses on the American legal system and laws that transcend national boundaries. This program is available for international students who already have a first degree in law from a foreign university upon the completion of 30 credits of course work.

Optional certificates include:

• Applied Business Law
• Criminal Law
• Cyber Law
• Intellectual Property Law

Find and develop your own compositional voice and learn how to turn your musical ideas into dynamic performances and published works. Students hone their skills in styles they are passionate about while breaking out of their comfort zone and exploring diverse genres from early counterpoint to the latest popular styles.

Environmental geosciences tackle society’s most important environmental problems – climate change, energy resources, pollution and hazards – through a detailed and integrated study of major components of the Earth system: atmosphere, hydrosphere and the solid Earth.

As a member of the Discover Engineering Technology program at the University of Dayton, you will be able to explore the academic programs in the School of Engineering before finalizing your major.

You'll be enrolled in a specially designed seminar course that offers an introduction to the division, its faculty, curriculum, opportunities for graduates, and the various policies and procedures necessary for the successful student to follow. This seminar provides information on cooperative education and internship opportunities, as well as extracurricular options. The classes are small, and the attention is as individual as needed. With the help of this seminar, along with the assistance of your knowledgeable adviser, you will discover the area of engineering technology that's right for you.

Once you decide on your engineering academic program, students admitted as Discover Engineering Technology are guaranteed to move into any engineering technology program and students admitted as Discover Engineering are guaranteed to move into any engineering program. If you'd like to move between the engineering technology and engineering programs, you can coordinate with your Student Success adviser on the process to do so!
