Biochemistry and Biophysics
Interdisciplinary by design.
The Biochemistry & Biophysics (BCBP) graduate program includes a broad grounding in the mathematical, chemical, physical, and biological sciences.
Biochemistry and Biophysics
Biochemistry and Biophysics
Biochemistry and biophysics, closely-related fields, use tools from different sciences to study life. Specifically, biochemistry studies the chemical processes and transformations in living organisms, while biophysics applies the theories and methods of physics to questions of biology.
Computational Biology
Computational biology is the study of biological systems through computational and statistical modeling of large data sets. Through this program, students gain knowledge in biology, computer science, and information technology.
Rensselaer is one of the few universities to offer an undergraduate program in this emerging and exciting field. This program trains next-generation biologists who can harness the ever-rising computational power and tools to solve crucial biological problems to change the world.

Enriching the Foundation in Biology Beyond a Bachelor’s Degree
A master's degree is becoming increasingly valuable. A master’s degree in biology enables students to round out their educations before embarking on their professional career. Accelerated master's degree programs save the cost and study time of graduate admission tests, application fees, and extra courses.
Undergraduate Programs
A strong collaborative research environment.
Biology
We study life.
This vast field examines the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living things. At Rensselaer, we emphasize modern techniques and interdisciplinary learning. Students obtain knowledge in a diverse range of biological sub-disciplines, including molecular and cellular-level biology or ecology and evolution. Together, the curriculum provides a strong background in quantitative, physical, and chemical biology.
