Bachelor of Science in Physics - Biophysics

University of Missouri - St. Louis

Understand matter.Biophysicists investigate how biological systems function using various physics techniques as well as the fundamental nature of forces, particles and states of matter that make up the physical world. Studying physics strengthens quantitative reasoning and problem solving skills that are valuable in areas beyond physics because students learn how to analyze complex problems, giving them a strong quantitative background that can be applied in any technical field.The BS in Physics with an Emphasis in Biophysics is designed to prepare students for a professional career in biophysics, biological physics or a related interdisciplinary field for graduate studies in biophysics, biological physics, or a related interdisciplinary field for training as a medical physicist or for professional training such as medical school. Other emphasis areas offered include: Astrophysics Engineering Physics and General Physics.
