Master of Science in Neuroscience

The neuroscience program at Brigham Young University provides excellent interdisciplinary training in the classroom as well as experience in laboratory research settings and internships for both graduate and undergraduate students.
Neuroscience is the field of study that encompasses the development, structure, and function of the central nervous system and its connection to influencing/regulating behavior. The study of neuroscience examines neuroanatomy, physiology of the nervous system, biochemistry, genetics, neuropharmacology, neuroimaging, systems and behavioral neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, social neuroscience, cognition, bioengineering, computational neuroscience, and neural dysfunction and disease. The interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience requires the tools and training in biology, genetics, physiology, molecular biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, psychology, statistics, calculus, and research design and analysis.
