Since some of the required courses are not offered every semester, students entering the Major in Biophysics (Co-op) should
plan their program in consultation with the Department of Physics Faculty Advisor.
To graduate from the Co-op program a minimum of 4 successfully completed work terms is normally required.
This major requires the completion of 21.25 credits as indicated below:
