Biochemistry Courses

The Department of Biochemistry offers a wide range of courses for undergraduate biochemistry majors and non-majors, as well as graduate students in our Integrated Program in Biochemistry. The department’s biochemistry courses are the backbone of our world-class programs, which are part of one of the best colleges for biochemistry in the country.  

The official full list of biochemistry courses can be found in the university’s Guide. However, below is a list of our courses with sample syllabi, if available, and when the course is usually taught.
 

To enroll in courses, students should go to enroll.wisc.edu, which will have the most up-to-date information on which courses are offered in a specific semester.
