Molecular Biodesign is a form of biological design that has been developed to deal with a structural or functional biological task. The program leads to a broad degree in bioscience, with a focus on molecular biology and biotechnology. It is within these fields that your future employment market can be found.

Bioinformatics has become integral in many biological fields, especially in experimental molecular biology and biomedicine. The objectives of the molecular bioinformatics program are to provide you with a broad knowledge of bioinformatics with applications in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and biomedicine.

Our Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology degree prepares students who wish to pursue advanced degrees in biotechnology, molecular biology, or medicine. The major consists of 24 semester hours of chemistry and 23 semester hours of biology coursework.

Biotechnology and molecular biology research integrate and apply science and mathematics to real-world problems. Kean biotechnology students study in state-of-the-art facilities and prepare for successful careers in the sciences.

Biochemistry—Molecular Biology (BCMB) is an interdisciplinary major aiming to understand living systems at the molecular level. Students in the BCMB major learn about cell structure, characteristics from a biological and biochemical perspective, and its intricate and complex functions through which basic life processes are governed.

Interested in combining your love of biology and chemistry? Our biochemistry-molecular biology major offers an exciting mix of biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, genetics, and chemistry.

The main objectives of our undergraduate Molecular Biology major are: to educate students in greater depth in molecular studies than would be possible in our Biology program and to prepare students for the methodological advances which have changed the study of biology in recent years.

The Earth is home to a great variety of animal life. The Department of Animal Bioscience was created in the 2009 academic year with the goal of training students to be able to contribute to humankind, for example by understanding the mechanisms by which animals live, conducting research into health and longevity, elucidating disease, and evaluating the safety of drug discovery and food products. In addition to studying the latest bioscience developments at the most basic genetic, molecular, and cellular levels, students of the Department develop an ability to understand and research animals in a comprehensive and multifaceted manner by learning about subjects such as individual animals' physiology and behavior, pathology, embryo engineering, and bioethics. They also have the opportunity to interact with experimental animals during lab work, and they learn how to properly manage animals from the standpoint of animal protection and welfare. By earning credits in the appropriate subjects, students can also earn certification as a food hygiene manager or food hygiene observer, both of which roles concern the assurance of food safety.
