Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with a major in Physiological Sciences

For students attending classes at Pima Community College and preparing to transfer to The University of Arizona, the following course work is recommended. This major is intended for students wishing to pursue graduate study in the physiological sciences; or those planning to seek admission to professional schools in medicine, physical therapy, or other health related professions. Prior to applying for formal admission to this major, interested students should register in the School of Health Professions with a major in Pre-Physiological Sciences.
