I am currently a student at the University of Florida studying chemical engineering and biochemistry with a minor in mathematics and possibly material sciences and sales engineering.

I made a mock up of my schedule my career goal is to be the head researcher and CEO of a biotech company and I am curious what anyone thinks of my schedule. I am obviously going to pursure graduate work. If you want a course description let me know.

Thanks in advance.

wow, that's fancy. lol. mine is just this rinky-dink word doc. :redface:

cgs2425, I've heard, is a LOAD of work towards the end. i signed up for that during summer a (six weeks! ), and dropped it the next day--the last two projects were something like 1000 lines of code.


maa4402 is an awesome class. :cool: especially if you get dr. boyland.


the biophys class isn't offered all the time, so be on the lookout for that class. (and i heard that it wasn't that great when dr. meisel was teaching it.)



cool that you're entering school with your first two semesters of calc and chem out of the way, though! :cool:


and... i don't know what's going on in those last few semesters, but six courses seems like quite a lot.

i believe that nusc is saying, "yes, we would like them. we would like them all."
 
Actually no, it was in response to Matt grime's thread regarding academic advice. He insists that students should not gain such advice from this forum because no one on these forums is entitled to ensure course selection due do to the fact that all university courses are taught differently. Although that should be obvious to everyone, in contrast, mathwonk says otherwise since he had bad experience with advisors in the past.

So it's really upto omagdon7, but don't overload yourself.

oh. well, i got your intent wrong then! :redface:


i happen to go to that school and gave input on classes i know about.
 
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
