Hello,

I'm interested in part time master programs in biophysics. I'm working full time so I will be only able to go to evening classes. Are there any respectable programs in biophysics that allow students to enroll on a part-time basis? I'm looking for MS programs in NY/NJ..

I guess it's kind of too late to apply to master programs now. In the meantime, I'd like to
take couple of upper level bio classes and I'm wondering if there are any schools in NY where I can take a class or two as a non-degree student?

Any inputs are welcomed. Thank you.

There are several universities in New York and New Jersey that offer part-time master's programs in biophysics, including Rutgers University, Yeshiva University, Columbia University, New York University and the City University of New York. While admissions requirements vary from school to school, most programs require a bachelor's degree in a related field, and some schools may require additional prerequisites or exams such as the GRE. In addition, many of these same universities also offer courses in biophysics on a non-degree basis, which may be suitable for your needs. For example, Rutgers University offers classes in biophysics through its Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, while Yeshiva University offers courses through its Albert Einstein College of Medicine. It is important to note that non-degree students are usually not eligible for financial aid, so you should contact the university's student finance department to determine what options are available.

Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in pursuing a part-time master's program in biophysics. There are definitely reputable programs available that allow students to enroll on a part-time basis, particularly in the NY/NJ area. Some universities that offer part-time master's programs in biophysics include Columbia University, New York University, and Rutgers University. These programs typically offer evening classes to accommodate working professionals like yourself.

While it may be too late to apply for this upcoming academic year, I encourage you to start researching and preparing for applications for the following year. In the meantime, taking upper level bio classes as a non-degree student is a great way to gain additional knowledge and experience in the field. Some schools in the NY area that offer non-degree options include Cornell University, Fordham University, and Hunter College.

I also recommend reaching out to the admissions departments of the specific programs you are interested in to inquire about their part-time options and application timelines. They may also be able to provide you with more information on non-degree options and any prerequisites or requirements for those courses.

I wish you the best of luck in your academic pursuits. Biophysics is an exciting and rapidly growing field, and I have no doubt that you will find a program that fits your needs and interests. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need additional guidance.
