What will I learn?

The B.S. program is designed to provide you with a foundational understanding of the brain and the nervous system. Our interdisciplinary approach will provide you with knowledge in areas such as nervous system diseases and current therapeutic strategies, the cellular molecular biology of the nervous system, cognition and behavior. You’ll have the opportunity to gain experience with a multitude of experimental approaches and techniques used to solve unanswered questions in the field of neuroscience.

There are three major options available for the B.S. degree:
