Saginaw Valley State University

The science of life is tied to the flow of chemical energy. As a biochemist, students will dive into that world through research—discovering ways to maintain life and advancing new methods to save it. At SVSU, the biochemistry program and its professors offer an education like no other. Here, students will gain confidence in laboratory skills, and they'll learn from the success and failures of conducting their own research. Students will perform experiments, track progress and present findings—not only at the regional level but also on the national stage. The Biochemistry program offers smaller classes and highly invested faculty who train students not only in knowledge but also in advanced laboratory skills. As a Cardinal, students will discover there’s no better place to learn how to conduct their own research and to help differentiate themselves from the competition. Because, at SVSU, the study of life is also a study of students and their passions.
