Master Adviser. Keith R. Williams for the Exercise
Biology Major and Exercise Biology Minor
Honors Program. Those students with an outstanding
academic record and an Exercise Biology
GPA of 3.500 or higher may enter the Honors Program
with the consent of a faculty adviser. An honors
project must be completed consisting of 2
quarters of course 199 (at least 3 units per quarter),
2 units of course 194H, and an honors thesis. These
units are taken in addition to the major requirements.
Graduate Study. A program of study and
research leading to the M.S. degree is available
through the Graduate Group in Exercise Science.
For detailed information regarding graduate study,
write to the Graduate Adviser, Graduate Group in
Exercise Science. See also the Graduate Studies
chapter of this catalog.

The Neurobiology, Physiology, and
Behavior Major Program
Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior is a major
that emphasizes the understanding of vital functions
common to all animals. All animals perform certain
basic functions—they grow, reproduce, move,
respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis. The
physiological mechanisms upon which these functions
depend are precisely regulated and highly integrated.
Actions of the nervous and endocrine
systems determine behavior and the interaction
between organisms and their physical and social
environments. Students in this major study functional
mechanisms; the control, regulation, and integration
of these mechanisms; and the behavior that relates
to those mechanisms. They do so at the level of the
cell, the organ system, and the organism.
The Program. In the freshman and sophomore
years, students majoring in Neurobiology, Physiology,
and Behavior build a broad scientific background,
taking courses in chemistry, biology,
physics, and mathematics. As juniors or seniors, students
can enroll in a variety of Neurobiology, Physiology,
and Behavior courses and related upper
division courses. Students can participate in a number
of advanced laboratory courses or may design
an individual, independent project guided by a
member of the faculty.
Career Alternatives. Completion of the Neurobiology,
Physiology, and Behavior major provides the
foundation for advanced study leading to careers in
high school teaching, college level teaching or
research. It also serves as the basis for further training
in the health professions, including but not limited
to human and veterinary medicine, medical
technology, physical therapy, pharmacy, dentistry
and optometry. The major is also appropriate for
those intending to seek careers in biotechnology or
other biologically related industries.
