Human biology explores our species through an interdisciplinary lens, examining everything from molecular and cellular levels to tissues, organ systems, and human-environment interactions. This program emphasizes fundamental concepts of normal physiology and the molecular origins of disease, framed within broader biological and biochemical processes shared by all living organisms. The major offers strong preparation for advanced studies in biological and biomedical sciences, including medicine and health-related fields, while also being relevant to careers in global health, laboratory research, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.
Learning Outcomes
Utilize biological concepts to understand human health and disease processes.
Address challenges and evaluate issues through interdisciplinary methods examining human anatomy and function across molecular, cellular, and systemic scales.
Demonstrate how biology relies on evidence gathered through observation, experimentation, and hypothesis testing, and how it connects with other scientific fields.
