Given the varied backgrounds of our incoming students, it's crucial to deliver excellent biophysics education across diverse specializations while avoiding student overload and maintaining timely PhD completion. Currently, Biophysics students take an average of 5.6 years to graduate. To meet this challenge, our Graduate Program has designed a curriculum with dual objectives: (1) establishing a shared foundational knowledge, and (2) adapting to students' individual academic histories. Aligned with our commitment to diversity, we've increased program adaptability while strengthening students' grasp of fundamental biophysics principles.

Qualification Requirements
Admission to the doctoral program in Biophysics requires a strong background in at least one of the following: physics, chemistry, biochemistry, engineering or biology.
While either option can be selected by any student, applicants with strong interests in physics and mathematics have historically tended to opt for the direct application route, while those with a focus on biophysics in the context of biomedical research have more often applied through PIBS. However, both routes attract students with a wide range of academic backgrounds, and both options offer the same rigorous academic and research opportunities with our diverse collection of core and affiliated Biophysics faculty.
