  • 食品行业专家
  • 法医科学家
  • 药剂师

课程及要求

For a bachelor of science in Physiology, you will be required to take a minimum of 105 credits, including at least 35 upper-division biology credits. 回顾所有的 生理学学士 courses and requirements,以及 suggested course sequence.

如果你感兴趣的话 pre-professional health sciences training 或者研究生院, consult your faculty advisor as early as possible to determine what other courses in chemistry, 物理, and mathematics that you should take to meet the demand of your plans or career goals.

作为生理学专业的学生, you must either take one of the specified courses in ethics or complete an 本科研究 Project. An ethics course is strongly recommended if you are interested in attending medical school or other professional health science training. The Research Project is essential for you if you're pursuing graduate school.

No more than six credits of courses numbered from BIO 4900 through 4999 may be applied to this major.

Students in Environmental Physiology at Seahurst Park

Environmental Physiology students take advantage of a natural laboratory

Students in Environmental Physiology (BIO 4256), taught by Dr. 卡拉Wall-Scheffler, are able to take advantage of diverse terrestrial and aquatic habitats available in the 西雅图 area, such as at Seahurst Park in Burien.  在本课程中, offered as part of SPU's September Session, students investigate how organisms balance acclimation and adaptation as they respond physiologically to their environments.

“I love the direct interaction with students. With the small class sizes, we have the ability to address questions and dive into topics as they arise. This makes for lively discussions and helps students explore the exquisite complexity of the natural world. 此外, the excellent faculty and top-notch facilities at SPU make it easy to involve our students in meaningful research projects that equip them with both the technical skills and the scientific mindset to tackle their future challenges.”
