锡拉丘兹大学（Syracuse University）的创建大学仍然是本科学习的中心。学院分为自然科学和数学，人文科学和社会科学，后者与马克斯韦尔公民与公共事务学院合作提供。对于对生命科学的物理和数学方面有浓厚兴趣的学生，生物物理科学专业是一个要求很高但又有意义的选择。该计划为学生提供了追求传统生物学，化学和物理学科之间的兴趣的机会。生物物理科学专业的毕业生从事生物信息学，蛋白质组学和细胞信号转导等领域的职业。该课程结合博雅艺术的深厚背景，为学生提供了其他职业的准备，包括卫生专业或生物物理科学的研究生工作
The B.A. in biophysical science is designed to serve students with strong interests in physical and mathematical aspects of the life sciences. The signature of the program is an exceptionally broad training in physics, biology, and chemistry. There are excellent scientific and professional opportunities for students who have acquired this broad grounding, bioinformatics, proteomics, and cell signaling are examples of subfields that benefit from a broad background in biophysical science. In conjunction with the other elements of the liberal arts core, graduates of the program are very well prepared to pursue careers in many sectors of the economy. The major is also well suited to students interested in graduate work in the health professions or in the biophysical sciences.
