The mission of the M.S. program in the Department of Physiology is to provide an introduction to advanced training in physiology. Our goal is to train students to carry out advanced research in physiology and to develop problem solving and presentation skills in a wide variety of professional venues and to develop the necessary background to work in research, enter our Ph.D. program, or other professional program.
Physiologists study the functions of living organisms, tissues and/or isolated cells. The emphasis in physiology is on the functional interrelationships between healthy, as opposed to diseased tissues, cells and sub-cellular components. Increasingly, the discipline focuses on the properties of single cells and their sub-cellular components with the availability and application of molecular biology techniques. However, whether at the level of the single cell or the whole organism, the aim of the physiologist is to understand complex functional interrelationships between body tissues.
