The master's program in Integrative and Biomedical Physiology mirrors the Ph.D. curriculum in the initial year, sharing comparable course obligations. The second year offers flexibility to align with individual student objectives. Candidates pursuing a master's must finish a research-based thesis.
To earn an M.S. in Physiology, students must fulfill these requirements:
Coursework -- A minimum of 30 credits at 400-600 level courses is mandatory. The first year covers physiology fundamentals alongside cellular, molecular, and systems biology, plus bioethics. The second year involves graduate physiology seminars, biostatistics, and career preparation courses.
Research Component -- An independent study guided by a faculty advisor, culminating in a written thesis.
Thesis Presentation -- A public defense of the research findings before a thesis committee, including an oral examination.
