Career paths

Physiology graduates are prepared to enter a variety of career fields, including the public and private sector, graduate school, or professional programs, such as medical school or veterinary school. Our graduates enjoy successful careers in a variety of fields:

Physiology is a specialized life science degree that introduces you to intensive, hands-on laboratory experiences. A Physiology major teaches you about animal physiology and anatomy. You also select among specialized upper-division courses, such as Embryology, Pharmacology, Environmental Physiology, Endocrinology, or Behavioral Neuroendocrinology. The physiology degree primarily serves to prepare you for graduate school or a medically-related professional school.

Courses to expect for this major include Physiology, Mammalian Physiology, Mammalian Physiology Lab, Vertebrate Morphology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Survey of Biochemistry, and Organic Chemistry.

OK-LSAMPis a consortium of Oklahoma colleges and universities working together to develop programs aimed at increasing the number of students from under-represented populations who receive degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The OK-LSAMP scholarship program provides scholars with increased opportunities and connections, including undergraduate research experiences, graduate school preparation, international experiences, and internships/externships with companies in the STEM fields.
