Human Physiology, Minor
The undergraduate minor in human physiology requires a minimum of 17 s.h. in Department of Health, Sport, and Human Physiology courses. Students must maintain a grade-point average of at least 2.00 in all courses taken for the minor and in all UI courses to earn the minor. Coursework in the minor may not be taken pass/nonpass. CLAS minors may only be earned concurrent with or subsequent to earning a University of Iowa bachelor's degree. They cannot be granted as standalone credentials or as the sole program of study completed at the University of Iowa. Transfer credit does not count toward the minor.
Students who earn a BS in human physiology may not earn the minor in human physiology.
The minor is designed to provide an in-depth study of human structure and function. Students must complete a human physiology course plus elective coursework as indicated in the "Electives" course list. Some of these courses have prerequisites; students must complete all of a course's prerequisites before they may register for the course.
The minor in human physiology requires the following coursework.
