The Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Biomedical Sciences–Physiology Interdisciplinary prepares graduates in areas that include cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine and neuroendocrine, reproductive or exercise physiology. In this context, emphasis is placed on an integrative approach for both research and graduate education. As with other program areas, the physiology program takes advantage of the latest molecular and cellular techniques to address questions related to human diseases.
 

M.S.: Official transcript(s); 3.0 GPA, GRE, goal statement and three letters of recommendation.
