The University of Arizona offers a Master of Science degree in Physiological Sciences.
Physiology is the study of how living systems work.
Faculty in the Physiological Sciences Interdisciplinary Graduate Program study physiology at all levels of biological activity, from the cellular and subcellular, to the synergistic integration of biological functions of the human body. Within this discipline, students may emphasize the study of physiological responses and adaptations to exercise and environmental stress. Several colloquia are offered to provide small group settings in which selected topics in physiology can be studied in greater depth. Students are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to become involved with ongoing or independent research projects under the guidance of faculty mentors. Many graduates of our master's degree program enroll in doctoral programs, medical schools, certification programs in health professions, or other professional schools.
