About Us
The Program in Human Biology is a dynamic interdisciplinary undergraduate program that approaches understanding the human being from biological, behavioral, social, and cultural perspectives.
Human Biology provides students with a broad, comprehensive, and rigorous introduction to the biological and behavioral sciences and their interrelationships through a sequence of common core courses. Students explore how this knowledge, in conjunction with studies in other disciplines, can be applied to formulate and evaluate health, environmental, and other policies and practices that influence human welfare. Each student then builds upon this foundation by crafting an individualized course of study that draws on courses from across the university to reflect their personal academic interests.
Human Biology also promotes student research through the Research Exploration (HB-REX), honors thesis, and Senior Synthesis programs. Networking and career mentoring workshops with the program’s diverse alumni is also offered year-round. The Program offers both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree option, as well as a minor and an honors program.
