Research Internships in the Natural Sciences I and I Experiential Internships in the Natural Sciences with permission of instructor
5.-6. Two upper-level biology electives that must cover one lab, one 3000-level and a category 1
B.S. BIOLOGY WITH CONCENTRATION IN PHYSIOLOGY This program is designed for students interested in a focused study of human physiology. Upon successful completion of the concentration, students will have detailed knowledge of human functioning, including the anatomy and physiology of musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, nervous, endocrine, digestive and renal systems. In addition, students will perform in depth investigation into metabolic processes and the stress of exercise. This program is appropriate for students interested in careers in physiology research, sports medicine and a variety of health professions, including physical therapy, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Furthermore, with the inclusion of a research requirement, this program will prepare students for graduate study in physiology programs.
In addition to concentration electives, students must complete the additional elective requirements to satisfy the major. Requirements for Concentration 1. BIOL2135 Anatomy and Physiology I with lab Anatomy and Physiology II with lab Human Nutrition Exercise Physiology with lab

BIOSTATISTICS MAJOR Biostatistics is an interdisciplinary study with requirements in both the biology and mathematics departments. Students who major in biostatistics will gain a strong background in mathematics and biology as well as communication skills that are necessary in the working world. Students will be well prepared to find jobs in many newly emerging fields of biotechnology and bioinformatics. For details, please refer to the program description of biostatistics on page 110.
