Keep up with all the ways in which the Mount Holyoke community is pushing the limits of human knowledge, building lasting bonds and leading the way forward — on campus and around the world.
Narrow down the list by selecting multiple topics.
The interdisciplinary nature of Biochemistry enhanced my critical thinking.
The mentorship I received was outstanding. The professors clearly cared deeply about the subject and their students.
Since starting my graduate program at Duke, I am often reminded of the stellar preparation I had with my Environmental Studies degree.
The biochemistry program prepared me to be resilient and press through the challenges I face in the corporate world.
Biochemistry fulfills my need to be intrigued, confronted with complex questions, and participate in independent research.
The background that I obtained with my biochemistry major and chemistry research at Mount Holyoke has enabled my success at Stanford. Having already done research at Mount Holyoke, I was prepared to read scientific literature, think critically, and work independently.
I love practicing medicine and feel confident in my skills because of the solid science education and Chemistry research experiences I received when I was an undergraduate at Íøºì±¬ÁÏ.
I have grown into a strong, confident and competent individual and aspiring scientist after four years living and learning at MHC.
My biochemistry training from MHC has given me a solid scientific foundation to my career as a general surgery resident at Stanford.
