Overview

The M.S. in Human Physiology is not offered as a stand-alone program. It is a dual degree option for those enrolled in the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program.

Inspired by the growing interest in a one- to two-year graduate program with coursework applicable to careers in medicine, physical therapy, and advanced biological techniques, the Master of Science in Human Physiology provides students with in-depth anatomic and physiologic study of the human body, as well as research emphasis on human anatomy, physiology, performance, and biochemical systems. The program’s curriculum provides an educational opportunity for an academic graduate degree option for entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy students.
