Catalog Full Description

Biophysics lies at the intersection of physics, biology and chemistry. Applying the understanding, methods, and quantitative skills gained in physics to a vast array of biological systems, biophysicists seek to gain new insights into biological problems, ranging from brain function, vascular networks, and DNA synthesis to biomedical devices, drug delivery, and aquatic animal migration.

Biophysics BS Degree: The BS degree in biophysics prepares students for a wide range of career paths including graduate programs in physics, biophysics, and bioengineering as well as careers in biotechnology, data science, and lab research. Finally, the Biophysics BS degree is superb preparation for medical school and any of the health professions (medical, dental, veterinary).
