Major in Neuroscience | B.S. in Neuroscience
As an undergraduate course of study, the Neuroscience program provides students with an incredibly broad range of career options. It is, first and foremost, an ideal course of study for students who wish to pursue graduate studies in neuroscience itself, as well as those who wish to enter medical school - especially with an eye toward psychiatric care. Similarly, it provides a firm grounding for students who wish to move into counseling, therapy, addiction work, or social work, therefore serving as a good option for students who want to pursue some amount of graduate work but, for one reason or another, find medical school or Ph.D. programs a poor fit.
Why should I choose to study a B.S. in Neuroscience?
There is still a lot that is not known about the brain. There is a vast wilderness of knowledge that needs to be explored with new discoveries awaiting around every corner.
