Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience
Interested in how the brain influences thinking, feeling and behavior? The B.S. in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience gives students a comprehensive understanding of the biological underpinnings of these processes.
Foundational required courses in psychology, biology, mathematics and chemistry provide students with the knowledge and skills to enter fields like neuroscience, psychology or healthcare.
Students then personalize their degree in advanced elective coursework, allowing them to pursue their unique interests and career aspirations, either through a broad interdisciplinary approach or with a field-specific focus.
The major provides excellent preparation for graduate study in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, medicine, and the health professions, as well as careers in research, biotechnology, behavioral medicine, and the pharmaceutical industry.
