The Human Biology concentration involves the integration of disciplines that collectively define what it means to be human. This concentration incorporates studies in chemistry, basic, cellular and molecular biology, physiology, anthropology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and religion. Human Biology approaches the study of man from a biopsychosocial perspective. This holistic approach to understanding the human condition is critical as current trends in medicine and health care move beyond a strictly biomedical model. This concentration will satisfy prerequisites for many professional schools including doctoral programs in medicine, dentistry, and physical therapy and provide training for skills desired by biomedical/biotechnology industries and for graduate studies in the life sciences. Students taking the Human Biology concentration should substitute CHEM 105 & 106 with CHEM 110 & 111.
