Overview

The rigorous Biophysics program at Haverford College combines classroom and laboratory training along with significant faculty mentorship—all in an environment that facilitates moving freely between traditional disciplinary boundaries.

A highly specialized program, students pursuing the concentration must also be biology, chemistry, or physics majors; a range of courses of study depending on the student’s particular area of interest. Concentrators can choose to focus on biochemistry, biophysics, or biochemistry/biophysics, all of which provide exceptional training for students interested in pursuing Ph.D. and/or M.D. degrees.

Key Facts

The curriculum varies depending on the particular concentration each student chooses to pursue. However, all students in the program are required to complete the core curriculum, which includes courses in biology, chemistry, and physics.

Additional courses specific to each student’s major combined with their biophysics concentration are also required.
