If prospective majors have taken courses that may be equivalent to required courses of this department, they should request transfer credit forms from the department office. Students must provide course descriptions and petition for acceptance of transfer courses as substitutes for required courses. The course consists of laboratory rotations meeting for one afternoon session weekly plus a general lecture session of one hour weekly. Some flexibility in the selection of laboratory techniques will generally be available, depending on enrollment. Opportunities are usually also available to receive training in some clinical biophysical procedures in radiological image analysis and the measurement and monitoring of ionizing radiation.
Enrollment is limited to biophysics majors with upper-level standing.
