生物化学和生物物理学的学士学位提供了一条以生命过程的化学和物理学为中心的学位途径，并进行了培训，整合了化学，物理学，数学，统计学，生物化学，细胞和分子生物学以及生物序列分析的原理。生物化学家们探索了生物的化学结构以及活细胞中发生的化学反应。生物物理学家使用物理学方法研究大分子的结构和功能。生物化学和生物物理学专业的学生接受过医学和相关卫生专业，生物技术和制药行业的专业培训，或生物化学和生物物理学的研究生学习。对于对药物设计感兴趣的学生，生物物理学培训特别有价值。专业必须选择“高级生物物理学”，“神经科学”
The BS degree in Biochemistry and Biophysics provides a degree path centered on the chemistry and physics of life processes with training that integrates the principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, statistics, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, and biological sequence analysis. Biochemists explore the chemical structure of living matter and the chemical reactions occurring in living cells. Biophysicists use the methods of physical science to study the structure and functions of macromolecules. Biochemistry and Biophysics majors receive excellent training for careers in medicine and related health professions, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, or for graduate study in biochemistry and biophysics. Training in biophysics is especially valuable for students who are interested in drug design. Majors must select an option either in Advanced Biophysics, Neuroscience, or Pre-Medicine/Biochemistry and Biophysics. The first two options are designed for students interested in careers in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries or graduate work in biochemistry and biophysics, with the second especially well-suited for students interested in neuroscience. The third option is ideal for students interested in careers in medicine and related health professions.
