The cellular and organismal physiology major enables students to investigate fundamental physiological processes across diverse life forms, from microbes to complex animals. As a core biological science, physiology examines the functional workings of living systems, integrating principles from physics, genetics, and biochemistry. Learners have opportunities to collaborate with faculty throughout the College of Biological Sciences and University through laboratory research and coursework, pursuing their fascination with biological functions.
