Biochemistry (Summer Session)

Chemist in LabSatisfy your Biochemistry Requirements for Medical or Dental School in Just 5 Weeks this Summer!

  Request Information

Many pre-professional students need to take one semester of biochemistry. CSUDH College of Continuing and Professional Education offers a series of 5-week intensive summer classes that satisfies this requirement. The class helps prepare students for the MCAT exam and meets the prerequisite course requirements for medical and dental school. 

The CSUDH College of Continuing and Professional Education has launched this program in 2024. Because students are focused on a single class, they often perform better than by taking the classes with a full course load.

Important Notes:

  • In-person registration is not available for these courses.
  • We recommend all activated students register online via MyCSUDH to avoid extended phone wait times.
  • If you are new to CSUDH, you MUST register via phone (see below for instructions).
  • Only one student may register per phone call.

All students may register beginning Monday, April 8, 2024 at 8am PT.
