Neuroscience
Unlock Your Mind.
The subject of neuroscience - the science of the nervous system and brain structure and function - is a rapidly growing science that has become established within many different scientific disciplines. Our Neuroscience program begins with a rigorous core of basic science classes and laboratories, moving on to a core of more advanced courses. All students are educated in the breadth of the subject, but will eventually choose one of three concentrations – systems, behavioral, or computational.
As a strong natural science degree with a large hands-on component, our Neuroscience program educates students to be lifelong innovators and problem-solvers. We offer three concentrations that represent natural pipelines to a variety of careers and postgraduate degree options.
- The Systems concentration can lead to options such as in-depth graduate study in neuroscience or clinical psychopharmacology or a career in the pharmaceutical industry. This concentration may also be supplemented with additional coursework as a pre-health professions option for those interested in medical school.
- The Behavioral concentration can progress to graduate study in cognitive neuroscience or psychiatry.
- Students pursuing the Computational concentration could find career options such as artificial intelligence, medical data analytics, healthcare analytics, prosthetics, or robotics.
