Program Outline
Degree Overview:
Human biology is concerned with the structure and function of humans from the holistic to the molecular level. It encompasses all aspects of what it is to be human, including genetics, anatomy, physiology, anthropology, ecology, and epidemiology. As well as core units in human physiology, the Human biology major covers a broad range of areas relevant to human biology. Using an interdisciplinary approach, you’ll investigate complex biological systems. You’ll apply scientific methods; formulate hypotheses and design experiments; and collect and analyze data to develop logical, evidence-based arguments. You’ll identify major health issues affecting the population and describe developments in research initiatives.
