Nutrition and Exercise Physiology (Human Physiology and Translational Sciences) at University of Missouri

This degree program is highly multidisciplinary, integrating human physiology, nutrition, pathophysiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, organic chemistry, biology, sociology/psychology, and related areas to gain both a broad and a deep understanding of the determinants of human health and disease. Due to the department's unique configuration (only department on campus that spans three colleges - School of Medicine, College of Human Environmental Sciences, and College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources), students in this program have access to many researchers and resources represented from each unit. Students selecting this area of study will be well-prepared for health-related careers such as Medicine (allopathic and osteopathic), Dentistry, Pharmacy, Physician's Assistant, as well as for graduate study in Biomedical/Translational Sciences.
