Explore life across all scales, from atomic and molecular structures to entire ecosystems, while identifying and interpreting patterns. You'll develop fundamental knowledge of physics principles along with quantitative analytical abilities. This curriculum equips you for advanced studies in biological or physical sciences, medical professions, or careers in industries like pharmaceutical development.
Biophysics bridges multiple disciplines, combining physical and mathematical approaches with biological system research. The honors Biophysics curriculum provides undergraduates with comprehensive grounding in key biological subfields - including molecular/cellular biology, macrobiology, or applied biology.
This concentration particularly benefits students planning graduate work in biological sciences (such as medical, dental, pharmaceutical, or veterinary programs) or physics research.
