Tips for applying for ASBMB accreditation

ASBMB accreditation recognizes excellence in bachelor’s degree programs in biochemistry and molecular biology and related disciplines. A panel of experts from academia and the private sector evaluates three program areas: curriculum, faculty and infrastructure. Accredited institutions gain access to an exam for assessing student knowledge. Students who exhibit proficiency on the exam earn ASBMB certification for their degrees.
