Purpose
The B.S. in Biophysics will prepare students to be competitive in pursuing employment or advanced degrees in the medical, biotechnical and pharmaceutical fields. The program will also give students an opportunity to work closely with at least one faculty mentor, and train and teach them to make informed decisions concerning personal, political, and ethical issues dealing with science and technology.
The purposes of this program are aligned with the mission and aims of BYU. It provides both breadth (religion, GE, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology core) and depth (physiology, biophysics) to give students an intellectually enlarging experience. Our courses attempt to teach critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills that can be used throughout a life of learning. Our program helps to prepare students and make them competitive to enter the workforce or further their studies in graduate or professional schools. Through close interaction with faculty mentors, students can learn through precept and example the importance of the gospel of Jesus Christ, family life, character, and service.
