PHYSIOLOGICAL SCIENCES MAJOR
The intricacies of life — from the processes and activities of organisms to the anatomy, physiology, pathology and neurobiology of the human system — are the subject of the physiological sciences. The physiological sciences major provides a foundation in biology, cell biology and genetics before moving into the specialized areas of neurobiology and physiology.
Rare opportunities.
Undergraduates at other major universities can only dream about the courses you'll take as an undergraduate physiological sciences major: neurobiology, human physiology and exercise physiology.
Learn from pioneers in the field — and in space.
As a physiological sciences major, you'll have the opportunity to work with great professors, including one who is a world authority on locomotion and one who works with astronauts to study the effects of weightlessness on muscle atrophy and how exercise in space can prevent it.
