Bachelor of Science in Design and Behavioral Neuroscience

Engages students in an interdisciplinary study across the Biology, Psychology, and Art Design departments to integrate fundamental design courses with a strong foundation in the physiological brain mechanisms that give rise to behavioral functions. The latest research in neuroscience and psychology enables designers to maximize the impact of their designs and conversely, complex neuroscientific concepts can be made intelligible to a wider public through creative visual works. Students learn about the biological bases of cognitive processes underlying behavior.

They can then apply these principles to biomimetic medical devices as well as data and network visualization.
