Biophysics

A program that focuses on the application of physics principles to the scientific study of the mechanisms of biological processes and assemblies at all levels of complexity. Includes instruction in research methods and equipment operation and applications to subjects such as bioenergetics, biophysical theory and modeling, electrophysics, membrane biology, channels, receptors and transporters, contractility and muscle function, protein shaping and folding, molecular and supramolecular structures and assemblies, and computational science.

Texas awards the most Doctors degree professional practices in Biophysics of all US states with 3 degrees being granted last year. Students wanting to major in Biophysics can expect around 0% percent of their fellow classmates to be men and 100% percent to be women. The majority students graduating in this field earn a Doctors degree research scholarship. The average starting salary for an undergraduate degree in Biophysics is $44,700.
