<p>I'm a prospective student very interested in biochemistry and chemistry. At the moment, I plan to pursue a graduate degree.</p>
<p>Does anyone have experience in these areas at Mount Holyoke?
What has your experience is been like?
How are the science courses? Too easy? Good? Challenging? Stimulating? Boring?
What is the best part of studying science at MoHo? The worst? What do you wish you knew beforehand?
What was your favorite science course and why?</p>
<p>I know that the percentage of MHC graduates going on to science doctorates is very high. There is also a new science building, Kendade Hall.</p>
<p>Kendade has been around for a while - not really new. But chemistry and biochemistry at MHC are top-rate. Faculty is highly supportive and big on capstone projects which help you get into grad school or get jobs when you graduate. I have met several chemists who work for the big drug companies in NJ who did their undergraduate degrees at Mount Holyoke. Go visit and talk to the students and faculty. It’s very impressive.</p>
<p>MHC is very strong is sciences. The labs are impressive in the new building. They have all of the expensive analytical machines and specific courses teaching their use. My D will be going there in the fall for biology, one of MHC’s largest majors – a huge number of courses. Also, see the following re physics:</p>
