Why Neuroscience?
Because neuroscience is expanding so rapidly both at the University and national levels, opportunities for students in the neuroscience field are growing as well: research opportunities are becoming more varied, graduate programs are becoming more competitive and career options are more numerous in response to this growth.
Neuroscience students can choose to major in either biology or psychology. Regardless of whether they approach the study of the brain from the perspective of the natural sciences or social sciences, students are guaranteed a research-intensive experience that puts them in close proximity to passionate faculty members who are dedicated to preparing their students for challenging careers in a constantly changing field. Students benefit from diverse courses based in both biology and psychology, highly equipped laboratories and the potential to do independent research as early as their first year on campus.
With a background in neuroscience, students are prepared for a multitude of careers, in the sciences and beyond. Each year, neuroscience students successfully gain admission to medical, dental and veterinary school and pursue careers in fields like pharmaceuticals, scientific journalism, research and the law.
