Human Biology vs. Physiology

I'm a community college student applying to the University of California system (undergrad). I'm trying to pick a major for UCSD, but can't tell the difference between the Human Biology major and the Physiology/Neuroscience major. Anybody know the difference? What would you recommend?

Human biology is a more broad category and may focus on many other things such as genetics, molecular etc. Neuroscience focuses mostly on the brain and its cerebral functioning. I was a neuroscience major and I found it to be quite intersesting. Although it was a hard major I reccomend it.

thanks. i think neuroscience would be interesting, but i don't want to limit my studies on just the brain. but the major is Physiology and Neuroscience.

I am a human bio major at UCSD. The major focuses a lot on physiology and disease. I find the coursework very interesting, but also have a friend who is a neuroscience major who loves it. Depends on where your interests are.

I would do Neuroscience - that would be a nice backup plan too.

For a second I thought you were baylormed and got confused.

Do waht you like, but do it well.

aww!! 🙂 I was a in the same situation a few months ago! I ended up going w/ Physiology and Neuroscience because the nervous system has always fascinated me, and sounded more specialized than Human Bio. I haven't taken any physiology courses yet, but I'm taking Developmental Neuro right now @ UCSD. It's very interesting, but I warn that they do go VERY in depth into the subject (more so than I originally thought when I signed up for that major). It's also highly focused on research & experiments that are done to prove theories... probably because this field is still relatively "young"... so you have to sort of be thinking like a scientist when you study. The material from the book is very very dense, but once you simplify it & study it, it's not that bad. I enjoy it.

Pick any major and pick the one you think you will do well in, no need to major in something that makes you be constantly on the edge throughout undergrad.

I think he already decided. 🙂

I graduated college back in 2009 and majored in Neurobiology 👍. This is an old thread!

Bose, Shure, Skullcandy, Dre's, regardless

I'm gonna go with my Audio Technica M-50s. Raving reviews from all around. Little to no bad reviews. Get a nice headphone amp and these will be even better than they already are. Once the music is on, pretty much in your own little world.
