About the Course

Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience

The study of neuroscience is one of the most rapidly growing areas in the sciences, reflecting the importance of the fundamental and applied interest in how the nervous system is coordinated and regulated. The field of neuroscience examines the physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, development, growth, maintenance, and evolution of nervous system processes. As an interdisciplinary major, students explore how neuroscience blends with associated fields leading to health careers, graduate school, and direct-to-career goals.

Students working toward completion of this degree choose coursework in Molecular/Cellular Neuroscience and Behavioral/Cognitive Neuroscience along with Pathway coursework in a choice of Pre-Health/Traditional Neuroscience, Philosophy, Medical Humanities, or Computer Science. The major provides both content and hands-on experience in various areas of neuroscience. An excellent choice for students with interests in pursuing neuroscience-related graduate programs, health careers (for example, students with post-graduate aspirations for attending medical, PA, dental, veterinary, or nursing school), or careers in private industry. Students will emerge from the major with the ability to think across disciplines, to formulate questions and seek answers, to interpret data and draw conclusions, and to effectively communicate the outcome of these processes to a larger audience. This suite of skills makes neuroscience majors eligible for a variety of career opportunities both within and outside the discipline of neuroscience.
