Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience - Molecular Neuroscience

Our Neuroscience program allows students to explore brain function and disease across multiple disciplines, including neurobiology, psychology, and computational sciences. UTSA offers a broad scope of neuroscience where the student can study how the brain functions from the molecular level, to cells, systems, and behavior. An undergraduate degree in Neuroscience is an outstanding preparation for graduate school, medical or dental school, as well as a wide range of careers including biotechnology, other health professions, teaching, and artificial intelligence. UTSA's Neuroscience degree allows students to study multiple fields such as biology, psychology, and statistics. Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system through brain-focused science. This program focuses on discovering the neural bases of experience, behavior and disease.
Internships allow you to obtain work experience, explore a chosen career path and increase your marketability to employers. Students can access Handshake, UTSA's jobs portal, to search for jobs and internships and recruiting and event information. UTSA's Career Center has a COS career counselor who provides internship opportunities and advice to students across every science major.
The Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, within the B.S. in Neuroscience degree, offers three areas of concentration. To declare a concentration or obtain advice, students should consult an undergraduate academic advisor in the Life and Health Sciences Advising Center. To receive credit for a concentration, students must successfully complete all requirements for the B.S. degree, along with the requirements for the respective concentration. Students who do not successfully complete all courses of a given concentration area will receive a standard B.S. degree in Neuroscience.
