Neuroscience (NRSC)

Faculty

Associate Professor Friedline

The Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience degree provides interdisciplinary training in basic scientific principles in human and nonhuman behavior. This is needed for a functional approach to understanding the physiological mechanism underlying behavior, as well as basic neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and development. The program will also prepare students in training in the fundamental principles of neuroscience and for advanced training in specific aspects of the field.

Students pursuing this degree will gain a depth of foundational knowledge by discussing the role of the brain in perception, movement, sleep, stress, motivation, emotion, cognition, social behavior, and mental health.
