Our students include candidates for three different degrees: the PhD, the Master in Medical Physiology, and the Master in Research Physiology. Although most of our Doctor of Philosophy students are candidates for a degree in our department, others do their research here, but are candidates for a doctorate in another department or an interdepartmental program. Our largest student group consists of those who are candidates for the Master of Science in Medical Physiology. The candidates for Master of Science in Physiology and Biophysics are generally research staff at the University who are pursuing their degree on a part-time basis.
