Program Learning Outcomes

Human Biology

  • Describe the human body at the level of molecules, cells, and systems, and apply this understanding to human function.
  • Integrate knowledge of fundamental human physiology to explain homeostasis with respect to human health and well-being.
  • Apply knowledge of cellular, molecular, genetic, evolutionary, and physiological mechanisms to describe the cause and consequence of human disease states.
  • Integrate knowledge to predict the outcome of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and medical interventions on human health across the lifespan.
  • Demonstrate the ability to acquire an in-depth and advanced understanding of specific biological processes, for example, the neurobiology of brain disorders, cardiovascular physiology, or embryological development, as they apply to the human condition.
  • Critically evaluate the scientific merits of widely disseminated information from the public domain as it applies to human health.
  • Address scientific questions using quantitative approaches and critical reasoning, including developing hypotheses, analyzing data, and interpreting results.
