Neuroscience

The Neuroscience major is designed to provide students with a broad and customizable path through the field, making it well suited for those who want to explore diverse areas of neuroscience. It is especially appropriate for students planning to pursue graduate school, remain in academia, or build a career in research.

The Neuroscience major emphasizes the biological and molecular foundations of the nervous system, while allowing students to tailor their coursework to match their interests and long-term goals. This major is a good choice for pre-med and other pre-health students seeking a strong foundation in neuroscience while seeking flexibility in coursework.

Because of the increased flexibility in course selection, students in the Neuroscience major often have more time to participate in undergraduate research. Many work in research laboratories where they engage in discovery, contribute to ongoing studies, and gain valuable hands-on experience. These opportunities not only reinforce core concepts but also help open doors to future academic and professional pathways.

The Neuroscience major is highly flexible and well-suited for students interested in pursuing any aspect of neuroscience as a career.
