The Neuroscience Major trains students to use the knowledge of several academic disciplines to achieve an in depth understanding of the human nervous system and its purpose. It accomplishes this through a program of instruction that includes training in modern laboratory and research techniques and collaboration with faculty mentors. Upon completion of the program, students will be well prepared for careers and graduate study in neuroscience and related disciplines.
The Neuroscience Major accomplishes its mission through the interdisciplinary exploration of science’s most challenging puzzle - the brain. Major areas of study include: anatomy and physiology, cellular and molecular biology, cognitive psychology, and neurological disorders. These disciplines can enhance our understanding of neural structures and systems controlling functions such as vision, memory, emotion, movement, and ultimately all of human behavior.
Students will complete ten courses plus a capstone as follows:
