Human Biology

Meet the Growing and Vital World of Healthcare

Our human biology major provides a human-focused program of study for pre-health students. The program will give you an understanding of anatomy, physiology, genetics, immunology, biochemistry, microbiology, and pathophysiology.

Our graduates go on to become doctors, dentists, pharmacists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and physician assistants. Our faculty are here to help you along your journey into any post-secondary education you are seeking.

This program is the undergraduate component for students accepted into the Physician Assistant Studies Accelerated Entry Pathway (PAS-AEP). You can earn your Bachelor of Science degree in human biology as a pre-physician assistant status student and your Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies in just five years with our combined tracks. These competitive programs have a limited number of spots available and some additional requirements, as noted on the program-specific pages linked above and below.
