THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

RARE OPORTUNITIES. Undergraduates at other major universities can only dream about the courses you’ll take as an undergraduate: neurobiology, human physiology and exercise physiology.

LEARN FROM PIONEERS IN THE FIELD — AND IN SPACE. You’ll have the opportunity to work with great professors, including one who is a world authority on locomotion and one who works with astronauts to study the effects of weightlessness on muscle atrophy and how exercise in space can prevent it.

STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE. Marquette’s major is still relatively new and is already a hot major for students interested in studying the complexities of human physiological systems.

ON THE ROAD TO MEDICAL SCHOOL. The physiological sciences are the foundation of the medical sciences, so this major is excellent preparation for medical school or other health-related professional schools.

EVER WONDER HOW THE HEART REALLY WORK? Or nerves? Or muscles? Or kidneys? With this major, you’ll experience physiology up close and personal through top-notch laboratory courses taught by your professors.

YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF NERVE....AND MUSCLES AND ORGANS. With your professors you will study the mechanisms of nerve-cell communication, muscle contraction, ion channel function, regulation of cell volume, space biology and biomathematical modeling.
