A guide for completing your Biophysics Major
The paradigm below is one example of how this major may be completed. Students may use elective credits to explore other majors or to enroll in skill-building courses in mathematics, reading, writing and/or study skills. With planning, students may also use elective credits to complete a minor, enroll in a practicum or internship, or study abroad. It is the student's responsibility to complete all major and university requirements. Please consult with your advisor for the most current information. Students enrolled in the Lasallian Honors Program should consult with its program director for the appropriate sequence of courses.

Students wishing to enter this program should strenuously attempt to prepare themselves to place into (at least) M151 Calculus I in their first semester, and to place into E120.
Students should be aware that almost all upper division physics courses are offered in alternate years, and should plan accordingly.
Please consult with the Physics Department chair as early as possible and refer to the university catalog for additional information regarding this major.
