Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry
In medicine, it's errors in biochemistry that cause most diseases. That's why so many students interested in medicine are attracted to the biochemistry major at Hanover. By focusing on the molecular aspects of biology, especially DNA, you can better understand the chemical processes and reactions that occur in humans and other living creatures. You may also develop a better understanding of food production, how to grow better crops and how to develop biofuels for energy.
With small class sizes, you'll work closely with experienced faculty and have an uncommon level of access to the college's well-supplied lab.

Scholarships & funding
Hanover College invests heavily in the future success of our students by offering a robust financial aid program. We offer a combination of merit and need-based aid to international students, known as the HAQ Scholarship, annually renewed and applied to tuition only. Admitted International students are offered a guaranteed minimum HAQ scholarship based on GPA. GPAs are calculated on a 4.0 scale. GPAs may be manually calculated if your transcripts are not currently on a 4.0 scale basis. The NCAA guidelines are used for these calculations.
- 1827 Scholarship: $28,000, for admitted students with 4.0 and above in weighted GPA
- Bicentennial Scholarship: $26,000, for admitted students with 3.75-3.99 in weighted GPA
- Founder's Scholarship: $24,000, for admitted students with 3.5-3.74 in weighted GPA
