Human Biology

The human biology major is designed for students who want a broad background in the biological sciences and who want to understand the interrelationships among these fields. This program is for those who plan to pursue careers in the health care professions but are not interested in a teaching option. 

Human biology is a popular major choice for students who plan to pursue professional school for careers like dentistry, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, physician assistant and other human health careers that require additional education after completing a bachelor degree. To learn more about the support offered to undergraduate students pursuing these careers, view the preprofessional resources provided by the College of Natural Science.
