Art History, Bachelor's

The study of art develops visual and critical abilities, and trains students to relate direct observation to historical, political, social, and environmental contexts. This work engages and expands upon students’ experiences in languages, literature, philosophy, theology, and other fields of study. Most art history courses (prefix ARTH) emphasize the study of original works of art in Washington area museums, and many involve intensive research and writing experience.

Biological Physics, Bachelor's

Biological physicists use principles of physics to understand biological processes. The spatial scale of these processes spans the single molecule to the biological network. On the single molecule level, physicists make significant contributions in the development of experimental methods that illuminate molecular conformations, measure interactions with other molecules and monitor the formation of scaffolding that forms the cellular supporting environment. On the network level, collective behaviors and systems far from equilibrium prevail, requiring tools from non-linear dynamics and statistical mechanics to quantify these interactions.
