What do
you
want to
know?
Physiology is the study of how the body works, specifically, how cells, tissues,
and organisms function. It is a biological science that provides the foundation
upon which we build our knowledge of what “life” is, how to treat diseases, and how to cope with the stresses imposed
upon our bodies by different environments.
Physiology Major
What is Physiology?
In the scheme of things…
*not a Bachelor’s degree program
What does this mean for me?
For assistance come to the Gittings Building, Room 101.
You will earn the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (BSHS) degree from the College of Medicine, University of Arizona.
However, this does not mean you will be given preference for admission to any College of Medicine graduate programs.

Pre-Physiology major status
There are less than a dozen undergraduate
physiology programs in the United States.
Students begin at the UA as a Pre-Physiology
major.
Admission to the major is dependent upon the
successful completion of specific
requirements.
So,
what can I anticipate
from the
Pre-physiologyPre-physiology
program curriculum?

College
is very different than
high school.
How to be Successful in Academics
• Read your syllabus thoroughly to know each professor’s policies, course requirements, important deadlines, etc.
• Read the assigned material before AND after each class.• Go to all your classes-if you miss a class, contact the
instructor and get notes from a study partner.
•Go to instructor office hours whenever needed!
•Start studying for a test AT LEAST one week in advance.
•Find study buddies and form weekly study groups for each of your courses.
Bottom Line
• This can be a challenging major but you will learn about the many interesting aspects of physiology.
Success with Academics
• Meet with your advisor at least once a semester.
• Form study groups from the start.
• Communicate with your advisor regarding important issues and concerns.
• Be aware of the many campus resources, e.g. Think Tank, etc.
