Since some of the required courses are not offered every semester, students entering the Major in Biophysics (Co-op) should plan their program in consultation with the Department of Physics Faculty Advisor.
To graduate from the Co-op program a minimum of 4 successfully completed work terms is normally required.
This major requires the completion of 21.25 credits as indicated below:
Semester 1 - Fall
The program for the first semester is the same as the Major in Biophysics (regular) program.
