Physiology,
MS
Graduate students may pursue their research interests in physiology using a wide variety of techniques from the molecular to the systemic level. The Physiology Department has faculty members conducting research and publishing in the areas of cardiac, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, smooth muscle, platelets, and pulmonary physiology. Graduate programs with an emphasis on exercise physiology are provided in collaboration with the research faculty of the Kinesiology Department. Generally 2 years are required for completion of the M.S. program. Graduates pursue research, corporate, or academic positions.
