Neuroscience Information Session
Students pursuing a Bachelor's of Neuroscience have the opportunity to participate in the Science Research Initiative (SRI), a nationally recognized program that provides early, immersive research experiences. Through SRI, students will have opportunities to join research labs, working alongside faculty and peers to investigate questions related to brain function, behavior, and health using modern experimental and analytical approaches.
Students can emphasize biological or psychological approaches to neuroscience while maintaining a strong interdisciplinary core, and are encouraged to work closely with advisors to prepare for medical school, graduate study, and careers in research, healthcare, and emerging technologies such as AI and neurotechnology.
