In addition to the requirements below for the B.A. in Physiology and Health, students need to satisfy the general requirements for a bachelor’s degree.

Students must complete MVS 101 and MATH 153 as before entering the major. MATH 153 will satisfy both the general distribution requirement for the bachelor’s degree and the departmental prerequisite for the B.A. in Physiology and Health.

To graduate with a B.A. in Physiology and Health, 56 units of course work are required, as follows:

Core courses (28 units)

• Self-Pulse Diagnosis (PH 260)
• Diet, Digestion and Nutrition (PH 262)
