The Biochemistry and Biophysics Department takes the success of our students seriously, and first year students have a variety or resources to assist them with their transition to OSU. These begin with orientation, advising and registration at the required START orientations, continue in the fall with our BB 111 professional development course, and are enhanced with regular meetings with the BB/BMB advising team.
