About
Physiology is a specialized life science degree that introduces you to intensive, hands-on laboratory experiences. A Physiology major teaches you about animal physiology and anatomy. You also select among specialized upper-division courses, such as Embryology, Pharmacology, Environmental Physiology, Endocrinology, or Behavioral Neuroendocrinology. The physiology degree primarily serves to prepare you for graduate school or a medically-related professional school.
Courses to expect for this major include Physiology, Mammalian Physiology, Mammalian Physiology Lab, Vertebrate Morphology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Survey of Biochemistry, and Organic Chemistry.
