Overview

This course is designed to provide a flexible biophysics curriculum for undergraduate and graduate students from a range of majors and degree programs including Physics and Astronomy, Optics, Engineering and Biomedical Science. This is not a lecture-based course, it is instead organized around a selection of guided study modules that cover a wide range of topics in biophysics, microscopy and spectroscopy. Many modules have a significant laboratory component. The course can be taken for 1 to 3 credits where each credit requires three modules (9 modules required for 3 credits). The class may be taken twice for up to a total of 6 credits.

There is no required text for the class. Many reference resources will be listed or linked in each module.
