Science building

The building houses chemistry, biology and research labs, faculty offices and classrooms. A greenhouse is located adjacent to the science building. The greenhouse contains more than 50 different varieties of orchids: both hybrids and species. There is also a bog garden with more than 30 different species of carnivorous plants.

The biochemistry degree program at CSU fully equipped and prepared me for a future career in medicine. The faculty is very qualified and experienced in providing relevant material to the biochemistry degree while helping students develop a base of knowledge that is vital for success in future academic programs. As a current medical school student, the biochemistry program at CSU provided me with the necessary knowledge, laboratory skills, and ample learning opportunities to succeed in my program and ultimately my career.
