Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience

The inter-college program in neuroscience reflects the cross-cutting, interdisciplinary nature of this emerging science.

The major includes course offerings from the departments of Psychology, Biology, and Computer Science, and the opportunity to specialize in Cognitive Neuroscience, Neurobiology, or Computational Neuroscience. All of these fields share the goal of understanding neural processes, and how these processes give rise to perception, memory, and learning.
