Minor Description

The biophysics minor builds on the foundations of Physics I and Physics II to create a comprehensive understanding of how the laws of physics apply to organisms, explored from both the macroscopic and microscopic points of view.  With its organismal focus, and relationship to modern technology, this minor is well-suited to complement majors in Biology, Medical Biology, and Marine Science, in addition to Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, and Pre-Pharmacy programs of study.
