生物物理学理学学士

生物物理学士学位是与BS物理学学位相似的学位，但重点是生物科学。学生将获得生物物理学学士学位，其中包括一组生物物理学和生物化学课程的核心课程，这些课程将提供严格和定量的培训并专注于生物科学。学生将获得一个知识库，使他们具备从事生物技术行业研究事业或在生物化学，生物物理学，制药科学或医学院进行额外研究生教育的资格。如果选择了必修的物理选修课，那么正在攻读物理学学士学位并遵循健康前专业课程的学生将满足该学位的要求。
The BS degree in biophysics is a degree that is like the BS physics degree but with a focus on the biosciences. Students obtain a BS in Biophysics which includes a core set of biophysics and biochemistry courses that provide rigorous and quantitative training and focus, with application to the biosciences. Students obtain a knowledge base making them highly qualified to pursue research careers in the biotechnology industry or additional graduate education in biochemistry, biophysics, or pharmaceutical sciences or medical school. Students who are pursuing the physics BA degree and following the pre-health professions curriculum would complete the requirements for this degree if specific selections for required physics elective courses were chosen.<br><br>Physics, the most basic of the sciences, has intellectual and useful aspects. The intellectual component resides in our innate desire to understand the physical characteristics of our universe. The usefulness is evident everywhere in high-tech products and computerized communications. Many of the technological advances in our modern society flow directly from physics laboratories, such as the many applications of lasers, or the possibility of high speed levitated trains relying on high temperature superconductors. Much of the equipment and technology used by other scientists and medical doctors were originally developed by physicists, including x-rays, lasers, and MRIs. These are just several examples of exciting applications which resulted from intellectual endeavors in physics. In addition, productive citizens in this technological age must have a basic understanding of physics. For example, congressmen and all citizens need an understanding of physics when they debate government appropriations for projects, such as the space program, the requirements for energy needs and energy conservation, and possible solutions to global warming.
