“I made up my mind I would major in Biochemistry even before my first day of classes at Wartburg. I didn’t know much about the field of biochemistry, but figured I liked biology and chemistry so I might as well give it a shot! I have never regretted my decision since. Biochemistry was—and is—so much more exciting than I could have imagined. Wartburg’s Biochemistry program is top-notch and provided me with many wonderful opportunities. I was able to present research in San Diego, approach big tests with confidence, and am now able to apply the knowledge I learned at Wartburg to help me in my first year at medical school. And most importantly, I was surrounded by a community of friends and faculty that truly cared for me, encouraged me, and mentored me along the way.”

“The experience I had at Wartburg College was invaluable because of the outstanding faculty in the biochemistry program. The faculty helped tailor my education to fit my needs and interests. This included academic research that resulted in a publication that set me apart from my peers when applying for medical school. Without this program, I would not be where I am today. Strong faculty, who really take the time to get to know you, makes this department #worthit.”

“The biochemistry program at Wartburg has an established history of academic excellence and provides the tools necessary to gain acceptance into high-ranking graduate schools. Doors are always open to student visits, I lost track of how many times I dropped by to say hello or spend time talking about important life decisions. I can say with certainty that I was among the top of my medical school class when it came to preparedness. If you are hesitant in deciding which school will help you reach your goals, take it from me when I say that choosing to attend Wartburg College and pursue a degree in biochemistry was the best choice in my life.”

“Wartburg’s biochemistry program laid the groundwork I needed to prepare me for my future aspirations. The curriculum is top notch and offered the environment I needed to balance classes and research with extracurricular activities. Most importantly, the faculty invested their time and resources in helping me excel to reach my goals. I would not have been as prepared for the rigors of medical school had it not been for the excellent foundation I received from Wartburg.”
