What you will study and do
Human Biology focuses on the biological aspects of the human species, integrating knowledge from genetics, physiology, and anatomy. Students explore the complex interactions within the human body and gain a comprehensive understanding of human health and disease.
This course provides an in-depth study of the structure of the human body and its systems.
Focuses on the functions of the human body systems and how they work together to maintain homeostasis.
Covers the principles of heredity and variation in humans, including modern genetic technologies.
Examines the structure and function of cells, the basic units of life, and their roles in health and disease.
Explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms, essential for understanding human biology.
Studies the evolutionary processes that have shaped the human species over time.

It's a typical STEM major that requires enrollment into the Life Sciences core curriculum. Hardest parts were the organic chemistry courses, everything else was pretty light. Definitely prepares you for graduate school.
My major is called Human Biology and Society, which is very interesting and is similar to public health where we deal with tackling all sorts of problems ranging from environmental issues, to epidemics, societal antibiotic resistance, sleep, genetics, and a lot more.
I am a pre-PT student, this is the only major in our school that offers enough physiology course in the track of applied physiology.

Heavily prepares you for career! Highly recommend in health related fields. If trying to become doctor, definitely choose!!
I think the major requires a lot of work, but so does the field I want to go into so I think it’s worth it. Definitely developing my study skills.
I think this major is valuable as it can be used for different branches of healthcare and fulfills the prerequisites for medical school
I chose it to more easily fulfill requirements for Anasthesiologist Assistant School. It is very interesting tho.
Make the next decision
Put Human Biology beside another major, or share the experience future students need.
