专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Neuroscience major offers an innovative and interdisciplinary curriculum that combines a rigorous grounding in the foundational principles of both biological and psychological science at all scales of organization from molecules to human and animal behavior to ecosystems. The program emphasizes coursework in biology and psychology focusing on the area where these two disciplines intersect with one another. Another integral aspect of the major are opportunities for supervised research with Biology or Psychology faculty and internships in neuroscience-related health care or biotechnology fields
