B.S. Neuroscience

Explore the science of the human brain.

Are you a hardworking, highly analytical person interested in studying the human brain? If so, you may be interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience.

Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field in which scientists share a common interest in studying anatomy, physiology, and function of the nervous system and how it regulates behavior. The major is designed to provide a strong foundation in neuroscience while giving students the flexibility to select courses that prepare them for a wide variety of career options. These include, but are not limited to, graduate study in neuroscience, physiological psychology, neuropsychology and health care areas such as physical therapy, neuro-rehabilitation and medicine. Neuroscience is also a major for students who are simply interested in understanding the nature of brain-behavior relationships and want to pursue the field as part of a liberal arts education. Students will find that this major is compatible with a wide range of minors or double majors such as (but not limited to) Biology, Chemistry, Health and Exercise Science, Philosophy or Psychology.
