Course Overview

The field of neuroscience is highly integrative, incorporating the rigors of biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics, with the less tangible complex behavioral research of psychology. Other research that contributes to neuroscience can include findings from sociology, anthropology, and computer sciences. In turn, neuroscience has made valuable contributions to each of these fields, as well as to a wide range of health professions.

While the idea of being educated in a field of study that boasts such a broad information base may seem appealing, to be successful students must be capable of grasping this wide range of information.  Perhaps more importantly, students must be able to incorporate basic information from these contributing fields into a larger framework of understanding the relationship between the brain and behavior.

Entry Requirement 

The curriculum also includes a required course in neuroscience laboratory techniques, and an additional online course allowing students to learn elements of other laboratory procedures relevant to the field.  All students must also complete 4 credit hours of a research assistantship, working under the direction of a faculty mentor conducting research relevant to the major.  A required applications course allows students to use their developing understanding of neuroscience in a practical format, working in the local community.  Finally, a senior seminar is required, in which students can share knowledge and experiences, as well as prepare for entering medical school, graduate programs, or the applied field of neuroscience after graduation.
