Program Description:
The program provides students with both a broad knowledge of physiology and neuroscience as well as concentrated experience in one specific area of specialization. The department offers a variety of graduate courses including human physiology, membrane transport, intercellular communication, ion channels, and human neurophysiology, as well as seminar and special topics courses. While the department does not offer a Ph.D. in physiology and neuroscience, a continuation of graduate studies with our faculty-by students from this or any other graduate program-may lead to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Degree in Biomedical Sciences.
Admissions Requirements:
Physiology and Neuroscience - The requirements for admission are:
- B.A., B.S., or equivalent degree
- Overall GPA of 3.00-plus or GRE total of 310 (minimum 153 verbal; 153 mathematics)
