Program Description
Neuroscience is a cross-disciplinary major centered on studying the brain and the nervous system. It combines many traditional fields of study, including biology, psychology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, engineering, mathematics, and computer science.
The brain is perhaps the most remarkable phenomenon in the biological universe, controlling who humans are and all that they do—from the regulation of every function to the execution of complex thoughts and emotions.
Because understanding the brain impacts every aspect of human lives, neurobiologists contribute to a wide variety of career fields.
