Academic Accelerator Program - Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry

The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, while includes the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and AAP-exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip them with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills they need to excel in their coursework.

The Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry offers two degrees (Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts), two majors (Chemistry or Biochemistry) and one minor (Chemistry). With an emphasis on undergraduate research, the department provides excellent opportunities to test the laws and theories of chemistry through hands-on experiments. In the department, students will build strong laboratory skills and develop an understanding of topics in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry, along with a well-rounded Jesuit education as they pursue a major.
