BS Biological Sciences in Neurobiology Physiology and Behavior

Physiology is the study of how organisms regulate the flow of energy and maintain the conditions necessary for health, survival and reproduction. It might seem that physiology and behavior are quite separate fields, but physiology and behavior interact extensively to achieve common goals.In the neurobiology, physiology and behavior concentration, students will receive a rigorous and broad education by studying behavior and physiology from the perspectives of molecular and cellular biology, evolution, organ systems (neural, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, etc.) and the environment. Students in this concentration also learn to apply principles from mathematics, chemistry and physics. Discoveries are made at the laboratory bench and in the field, and students in this concentration are encouraged to participate in research projects in the labs of our faculty members.
