Neuroscience Introduction
Neuroscience is a multi-disciplinary program that focuses on the development, structure and function of the nervous system and its regulation of body systems and behavior. The neuroscience emphasis examines topics such as molecular and cellular neurobiology, neuroanatomy, the neural basis of behavior, learning, memory, cognition and perception, neuroendocrinology, neurophysiology, neuronpharmacology, and neurological disorders. Neuroscience is an excellent pre-professional field of study for those interested in health professions, law, or business.
In this major, you will:
- Explore how nerve cells communicate and control behavior
- Study memory, learning, perception, and movement
- Build skills in research, experiments, and data analysis
Graduates can pursue careers in healthcare, research, psychology, or other science-related fields—or continue their education in graduate or medical programs.
