Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Neuroscience

The behavioral neuroscience curriculum focuses on the biological bases underlying behavior under healthy and pathological states. The program combines the disciplines of biology and psychology with a strong background in basic physical sciences and mathematics to understand how the behavior of humans and animals is controlled by physiological systems. Students gain a solid foundation in the anatomical and functional specializations of the brain and neural mechanisms from neurons to circuits to networks. Students then choose from a range of advanced electives to delve deeply into diverse specializations and current topics in the field.
