Advanced degrees in physiology at the University of Minnesota can be earned through the cellular and integrative physiology graduate program. The Department of Physiology and Pharmacology on the Duluth campus, in cooperation with the Department of Physiology on the University’s Minneapolis campus, offers a course of study leading to a master’s degree in several areas of physiology. A doctoral degree can be pursued on the UMD campus as well.
On the UMD campus, opportunities exist to pursue studies in cardiovascular, muscle, neurophysiology, respiratory, and endocrine physiology; mammary physiology and disease; as well as in membrane transport, temperature regulation, and certain areas of neuroscience.
All course requirements for the master of science degree can be completed on the UMD campus. Students are expected to complete degree requirements over a period of two calendar years. The master’s degree program requires at least 20 semester credits in physiology and 6 semester credits in a minor or related field of study. Fulfillment of master’s degree requirements also includes the presentation and defense of a thesis and the completion of 10 thesis credits. Advanced physiology courses as well as research projects leading to the doctorate degree are available on the UMD campus. However, students are required to complete a portion of their doctoral course requirements (typically two semesters) from selections offered on the Twin Cities campus. |
