The section of Human and Evolutionary Biology within the Department of Biological Sciences introduces Human Biology (B.S.) as a new major at USC. This degree is designed for students seeking a focused course of study in human anatomy, physiology, metabolism, and/or evolution. Students will complete a general core (24 units) of fundamental coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, and math. From there, they will select one of four “tracks” (20 units) in the following areas of emphasis: Applied Physiology, Biomedical Sciences, Nutrition and Metabolism, or Human Evolutionary Biology. The restricted electives (16 units) will allow students to fulfill pre-health requirements from a very extensive list of courses.
