Beyond the basic.

Hartwick is a place where you’ll learn by doing, and where you’ll put your lessons to work. For instance, our biochemistry students recently traveled to Anaheim, CA to present their research at the Experimental Biology meeting. The meeting is the largest biochemistry convention, with more than 12,000 attendees representing all facets of the biochemical sciences.

A closer look.

Studying biochemistry at Hartwick means you’ll learn the building blocks of life, supported by a liberal arts education. Faculty understand that experimental work and research are central to the development of productive scientists. With individual attention from faculty and direct access to state-of-the-art chemical instrumentation, you’ll gain hands-on knowledge of theoretical principles through experimentation and independent research.
