Understanding life processes can be approached through a quantitative study of protein networks and the interactions between individual molecules. The Bachelor of Science in Biophysics emphasizes the connections between physics and biology and gives students the tools they need to understand life processes from a new perspective. Coursework covers a wide range of topics in math and science, from biosynthesis and DNA structure to radiation biology and computer programming.
In the biophysics curriculum, students take a capstone course and complete a required three-credit undergraduate research course.
