X--Degree Programs
Department of Physics, College of Physical and Engineering Science.
A grade of 70% in the physics and biology courses of semesters 1 and 2 is normally required for admission to semester 3 of this program. The program emphasizes the physics of biological systems. It provides an excellent background for careers in the expanding interdisciplinary research laboratories of Government and Industry. Completion of the program at an appropriate level will qualify a student to pursue post- graduate studies in biophysics and certain areas of physics.
Since some of the required courses are not offered every semester, students entering the Major in Biophysics should plan their program in consultation with the Physics Departmental Advisor.
This major requires the completion of 21.25 credits as indicated below:
+MPC˛ courses provide another route into Semester 3. MPC˛ students should consult the Program Counsellor concerning course selection for Semesters 1 and 2
**recommended course
***these will be projects in biophysics, some of which may be in biological areas outside the Physics Department
****at least one of PHYS*4120 or PHYS*4150 must be taken
