Biochemistry Co-op Employers


A Biochem Student
The Biochemistry program at Kettering University is unique because it is the only undergraduate biochemistry program in the country that requires its students to spend at least 5 co-op terms working as an engineer or applied scientist at a company.  Our students learn how to apply their knowledge of physics and engineering to the real world while they help their employers solve problems in industry.
