• The human biology program explores the human being from biological, behavioral, social, and cultural perspectives.
  • Students will discover the intricacies of human organisms, evolution, structure, and behavior through this interdisciplinary major that combines anthropology and biology.
  • Students will establish an in-depth understanding of the human organism as an individual and as part of large populations. In addition, students will study comparative context to understand why human beings have a particular set of biological features. Next, focus on health, illness, and the events that have shaped the species over time including genetics, nutrition, disease, ecology, adaption, and environment.
  • Students will develop an awareness of the variation in human experience in such areas as nutrition, disease, biological adaptation, and biological structure and knowledge of the interaction of human biology and culture, through time and across space.
