The College of Arts and Sciences is the intellectual hub ofthe University of Oregon, serving nearly two-thirds of all students. Home to more than 800 faculty across 50+ departments and programs in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences,CAS is a dynamic and interdisciplinary academic community. Our faculty and advisors work closely with students to develop critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and clear communication skills toaddress real-world challenges.

CAS staff and managers are integral to this work, playing vital roles in supporting academic excellence and advancing the mission of both the College and the University.

The UO Department of Human Physiology is home to undergraduate and graduate students who desire strong training in human physiology and anatomy that will prepare them for careers in medicine, allied health professions, and biomedical research.

At the undergraduate level, future researchers, educators,physicians, physical therapists and other health care providers receive comprehensive, multidisciplinary training in the physical,biological, and chemical sciences that prepares them well for entrance into most professional health care-related programs. Human Physiology students also examine the health sciences from aperspective that explores the functional and structural mechanisms underlying human movement across health and disease, using avariety of physiological methods, ranging from biochemical and systems techniques through whole body analysis.

The graduate program develops researchers and health professionals who are creative thinkers and innovators capable of generating new knowledge in the physiological sciences. To this end, the department has several outstanding, funded laboratories that use physiological and engineering methods to evaluate human subject sunder a broad spectrum of experimental conditions. The Department'sfaculty members recognize that cutting-edge translational research,from basic physiological mechanisms through integrative systems physiology related to health, human movement, and physical activity, has a major influence on disease treatment and prevention.

Consequently, in the performance of their research,they routinely collaborate with physicians and other clinical personnel.
