The goal of the Department of Physical Sciences at Concordia University Wisconsin is to develop competent scientists with a Christian worldview. The graduates of its programs will possess the current scientific knowledge and research/data interpretation skills so necessary for entering scientific or medical careers in industry, academia, or government. More importantly, they will be prepared to provide a Christian influence and ethical perspective to the debate on the science-related problems facing the world today.

Concordia University's biochemistry program is organically interdisciplinary as the curriculum includes coursework in general, organic, analytical, physical and biochemistry in addition to general, advanced, and molecular biology all while being supported by calculus and physics courses. 

Program Learning Outcomes

Students will: 

• Understand and apply fundamental biochemical concepts;
• Use common laboratory procedures/equipment, often as a member of a team, to gather meaningful data;
• Analyze and interpret data to arrive at appropriate conclusions;
• Apply principles of laboratory safety and biochemical hygiene;
• Perform undergraduate research and conduct effective searches of the biochemical literature;
• Communicate and summarize scientific information effectively and accurately in both oral and written form;
• Act ethically and responsibly, demonstrating an understanding of the role biochemistry plays in societal issues;
• Recognize that, though our scientific understanding of the universe continues to change, God's truth does not, for His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9)
