By taking a brain-based perspective on human behavior, you will acquire foundational
knowledge about the structure and function of the nervous system which will allow
for a new level of understanding of cognition, emotion, physiology, disease, and disorder.
As you move through your neuroscience coursework and engage in experiential learning
opportunities, you will gain knowledge and skills in molecular/cellular neuroscience,
cognitive/behavioral neuroscience, systems neuroscience, and other related fields.

Conduct Research
You can study a variety of topics about the brain and nervous system, from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease to stress resilience. When studying neuroscience, you’ll answer questions using thought processes from many disciplines—analyzing everything from the chemicals of the brain to a person’s behavior—and understand how many fields of study intersect.
