The Physiology Graduate Program offers two different degrees:
- Master of Physiology, Non-Thesis Option
- MS: Masters of Science (thesis-based)
The Non-Thesis Master's degree allows individuals who desire to improve their knowledge of modern physiology to obtain a degree without a requirement to perform research or prepare a formal presentation on their own research project. However, students in this program may perform research if they so choose, as it serves to create a more unique and competitive application when applying to these programs.
Many MS (thesis) students pursue these degrees because they love research and after participating in this program, many have gone on to have successful careers in the Biomedical and Biotechnology fields, among others. And since the Research Triangle Park is just a short drive from Raleigh, many students find great jobs close to home in a beautiful area of North Carolina.
