Our program is both interdisciplinary and integrated: you will master the techniques of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, and then learn to apply them to questions of biology and medicine. Our program also strongly emphasizes research: youll likely find yourself using microscopy techniques to study the molecular mechanisms of DNA-damage repair inside living cells, or pursuing projects involving theory, data analysis and computational simulations.<br>As a biological physics major, youll be well prepared for graduate school, where you might pursue a PhD in biomedical engineering, biotechnology, materials science or biophysics. Some of our recent graduates have gone on to earn advanced degrees from Harvard University, Carnegie Mellon University, Yale University, Caltech and University of California, Berkeley. Given the breadth of the major, you will also be well prepared for careers in biotechnology or the high-tech sector, medical school, or other professional studies.
