BA/BS in Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences

This biology bachelor's degree, with a physiology concentration, is meant to supply a solid base in physiology, covering vertebrates, invertebrates and plants. Many students who take it are preparing for health professions careers. The bulletin cautions that graduate schools and health profession programs may require additional prerequisite classes, so students are urged to build an academic roadmap with an advisor. The biology degree does not allow multiple concentrations, and every version of it starts with early physics and chemistry classes. Continuing contact with a departmental advisor helps students plan course order and verify their progress, because elective offerings shift from year to year and the bulletin advises seeking guidance before signing up. The bulletin entry gives every requirement, the course catalog and the stated outcomes. Prospective students can use it to compare this concentration with related programs and to decide whether it fits their intended career path.
