<p>Although most schools do not offer biophysics as a major, I was looking at Columbia's site for how many courses are taken for the majors. For biophysics there are 20 different courses to take to complete the major, and if you add that to their core curriculum along with language requirements you get a lot of courses, and then add a philosophy concentration to that...is this even physically possible?</p>
<p>Perhaps I am interpreting this wrong, as I am completely ignorant on course requirements and how many you can take in a semester. Here is the link for biophysics requirements (scroll down):</p>
<p>This would be my ideal major/concentration as I am currently looking at patent law as a possible profession, and know that biophysics is a great field for that, while philosophy is important for law (and I enjoy biology, chemistry, physics, math, and philosophy), but would that be physically possible to do, and if it is physically possible to do this major/concentration, will it be possible to do without perpetual urges to kill myself from the stress?</p>
<p>Also, can anyone post the most recent list of colleges offering a biophysics major? This link was given to me before, but I think more may offer it now, and I can't seem to find where to get an updated list from that site:</p>
<p>Some schools have concentrations within physics for biophysics and some within biology for biophysics- it makes investigating that much more important. I also advise the following- look into each program and see if there is something significantly different than what a physics and bilology program would have and what they could offer you, because some are probably not that much more than that, while some might be significantly more. Some may just have people who took an administrative step to creating a special program, while some might have special funding and resources for an actually seperate program. If I were you, I would check into where professors of biophysics went (if they got degrees in biophysics or branches of science with concentrations of biophysical-like sciences) and generally science strong schools such as Caltech, Harvey Mudd, and MIT, as well as top LACs who are strong in sciences such as Reed and Swarthmore.</p>
