Our interdisciplinary neuroscience program prepares you for a wide-variety of career paths in healthcare or academic research. In fact, we鈥檒l help you uncover the area of neuroscience you鈥檙e most passionate about and where you can make the biggest impact.
What will I learn as a Neuroscience major at 葫芦影业?
As a neuroscience major, you鈥檒l explore neural function at the micro level (biology, chemistry of neurons, DNA, proteins) and macro level (psychology). You鈥檒l gain a deeper understanding of how neurons and other cells in the nervous system work to produce normal and abnormal behaviors, with coursework in the areas of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and psychology.
From day one, you鈥檒l be heavily engaged in research. Unlike at large institutions, you鈥檒l get to know your professors who will mentor and guide you. They will provide opportunities for you to assist in their research labs, co-author papers, and present at academic conferences. Our program also includes a senior capstone where you鈥檒l learn research techniques in three different labs--psychology, biology, and chemistry--and propose your own research project under the guidance of faculty.
From the moment you arrive on campus, you鈥檒l feel at home. You鈥檒l enjoy small class sizes, a safe campus, amazing friendships, and challenging academics. Upon graduation, you鈥檒l have the solid academic foundation and broad research experience you鈥檒l need to get into a top graduate school.
