The Animal Physiology program establishes a strong grounding in fundamental physiological principles during the initial year, followed by diverse specialization options in the second year. Core coursework includes two foundational lecture classes: Cellular Physiology and Animal Physiology. Students complete the concentration by choosing seven additional credit hours from various physiology offerings, with at least four credits dedicated to laboratory work. Alumni typically advance to medical or veterinary programs, while others embark on research careers by pursuing graduate degrees. This discipline resides within Cornell's Department of Biomedical Sciences at the College of Veterinary Medicine, reflecting the intrinsic links between physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, and medical research. The program boasts outstanding laboratory facilities for student use.
