BSc in Biophysics in Atlanta United States | Emory University

Physics undergraduates and those majoring in physics/astronomy can choose between a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science program. While the BA and BS tracks have distinct goals, both focus on fundamental physics concepts and their real-world applications, analytical problem-solving techniques incorporating mathematical approaches, and hands-on experience with laboratory and research methods. The Physics Department's teaching resources, located in the modern Mathematics and Science Center, feature general and specialized physics labs, optics facilities, analog/digital electronics workspaces, microprocessor labs, and two astronomical observation sites. The first is a rooftop observation deck with ten small reflecting telescopes for introductory astronomy courses. The second is the Emory Observatory, equipped with a professional-grade twenty-four-inch Cassegrain telescope for upper-level astrophysics and astronomy instruction. Students conducting research in condensed matter physics, biophysics, or nonlinear dynamics can access faculty labs and computing resources. Additional specialized teaching spaces include a 180-seat lecture hall with demonstration capabilities, a 60-seat Zeiss Planetarium classroom, and a computational physics lab with sixteen workstations. Graduate programs include Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in physics.
