The Human Biology major provides a program of study in human physiology and biochemistry and the molecular basis of disease. Students in this major will develop a fundamental understanding of diverse aspects of human biology, from the physiology of organ systems to the genetic and biochemical workings of cells. Human Physiology and Human Disease core options provide necessary breadth, while still allowing students the flexibility to focus their study in areas of interest. The human biology major provides a strong starting point for entry into postgraduate programs in the health sciences, including but not limited to those in schools of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, public health, physical therapy, and nursing. The major also provides a foundation for careers in research, teaching, and many occupations in life science-oriented businesses.
