Study Level

Undergraduate

The Physiological Sciences major (PHSC) offers students a course of study that is more focused on human and animal structure and function. After introductory courses in cell biology and genetics, students in this major concentrate on physiology, neurobiology, and anatomy. Concentrations within this major are specifically designed for Direct-admit Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) students and for students in the Predental Scholars program. This major in physiological sciences is open to students who were directly admitted to the Pre-dental Scholars Program or students who were accepted into the program after their freshman year. In this program, students complete three years of courses in the College of Arts and Sciences for a minimum of 98 credits by end of third year. The fourth year of the program consists of Dental School course requirements, which typically consist of approximately 44 credit hours. The major consists of seven required biology courses, including one laboratory course, and the first year Dental School course requirements, as well as nine cognate course requirements in chemistry, mathematics, philosophy or theology, and physics chosen from the lists below. Certain courses in the first year dental curriculum are counted toward completion of the Major in Physiological Sciences (BISC 7410 Microbiology, BISC 7514 General Histology, BISC 7515 Biomedical Systems 1, BISC 7516 Biomedical Systems 2 and DEIN 7121 Oral Biology); in addition, other courses (i.e., DEIN 7114 Introduction to Clinical Practice 1, DEIN 7118 Dental Rounds 1, DEIN 7124 Introduction to Clinical Practice 2, DEIN 7128 Dental Rounds 2; DEGD 7113 Dental Anatomy and Occlusion 1, DEGD 7123 Dental Anatomy and Occlusion 2) count toward the total credit hour requirement for the Bachelor of Science degree as well as for dental school requirements. After successful completion of these dental courses a B.S. degree is conferred. Notes: Dental curriculum for all dental students is determined by the Dental School and is subject to change. Students must achieve a grade of C or better in those courses in order to count them toward the B.S. completion.
