The MS in Human Physiology program allows you to specialize in a focused research area through two tailored concentrations: Research or Accelerated. Both tracks enable you to customize your curriculum according to your academic passions, work background, and professional goals. With guidance from faculty advisors, you'll plan your required coursework, select electives, and determine your directed study, research, or teaching components. You'll undertake either a critical literature review (one-year accelerated track) or a thesis project (two-year research track) based on your chosen specialization.
Our program creates an exceptionally adaptable and stimulating environment for advancing your studies in medicine, biology, physiology, or neuroscience. Whether you're aiming for biomedical research or clinical careers in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, or biotech, this degree serves as an ideal foundation.
