攻读硕士和博士学位的学生。动物科学与工业系的生理学课程将接受综合的，跨学科的学位课程，包括跨许多部门的课程工作，研讨会和研究经验，包括生物化学，统计学，生物学以及解剖学和生理学。生理学研究生培训为学生提供了从事研究，教学，技术服务，咨询，成人教育以及动物繁殖和动物生理学相关领域的扩展等各种职业的准备。研究生课程将包括生殖内分泌学，妊娠的建立，细胞和组织培养，生殖的分子生物学，压力环境生理学，配子生理学和运动生理学。
Animal Sciences and Industry (ASI) graduate students pursuing a Ph.D. degree in physiology will be exposed to a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program that may consist of multiple species including cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, and poultry. Physiology course work and seminars span across many areas within ASI and across related departments including statistics, biochemistry, biology, psychology, and anatomy and physiology. Graduate students have the opportunity to develop teaching skill sets by contributing to our extensive ASI undergraduate program, and many students assist with our state and regional extension efforts. Research expertise can be gained in multiple areas across physiology, including basic research in molecular, cellular, and tissue function, translational research in endocrinology, gamete function, embryology, stress physiology, immunology, and neurobehavioral mechanisms, and applied research in reproduction, health, behavior, and animal welfare. Graduate training in physiology prepares students for various careers in animal and biotechnological industries, research, teaching, technical services, consulting, youth and adult extension, and related fields of animal physiology.
