This degree seeks to build comprehensive, fundamental knowledge and research training in biophysics – an interdisciplinary approach to the study of physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Students with interest and aptitude in physics, as well as goals involving interdisciplinary science, business, law, or medicine, will find this degree beneficial for direct entry into medical, bioengineering, and related basic scientific research or subsequent professional practice, research, associated support services, and consulting. Those completing this degree would have enhanced prospects of admission into advanced professional graduate schools of medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, and related fields (completion of pre-professional admission course requirements and preparation for admission examinations such as the MCAT are recommended). This degree could also lead to admission into a master’s degree program in physics, medical physics, or biophysics. Students typically complete the degree in 4 years.
