Overview

About the program

Emphasis is placed on an integrative approach for both research and graduate education. As with other program areas, the physiology program takes advantage of the latest molecular and cellular techniques to address questions related to human diseases.

The Ph.D. degree is offered in consortium with Cleveland Clinic and Northeast Ohio Medical University. Faculty members are drawn from various departments at Kent State University and the other two institutions. Although graduate work may be completed in any of the various research areas, faculty are listed in two general specializations: (1) environmental and comparative physiology and (2) cardiopulmonary and exercise physiology.

The Biomedical Sciences - Physiology - Interdisciplinary degree program is research oriented and designed to provide students with a thorough grounding in physiological principles and techniques within several well-defined focus areas.
