The multifaceted field of neuroscience applies basic knowledge about structure, organization, and function of the nervous system to the human experience. it is one of the fastest growing disciplines, with a high demand for graduates who understand how the brain relates to human emotional and cognitive functions. This is an exciting field of study with great potential for new discoveries and rewarding careers.

Students in the Neuroscience Concentration must have a major GPA of 2.5 or higher. Students are required to complete all Neuroscience Concentration core courses and five elective courses. Additionally, there are a number of optional cognate courses that students can use to bolster learning from allied fields. Because the concentration resides within the Psychology Major, students must fulfill both the major and concentration requirements. PSYC 101 is a core requirement for both the Psychology major and the Neuroscience Concentration, and PSYC 252 will fulfill Cluster 4: Biological and Health requirements. It is strongly recommended that students take PSYC 211 to fulfill Cluster 3: Applied and Clinical requirements and PSYCH 352 to fulfill the advanced-level (300-400) major course.
