Mission Statement
С¸£Àûµ¼º½ will engage in a broadly based study of the nervous system.
This study will be multidisciplinary, integrating the perspectives of biology, psychology, and related sciences. С¸£Àûµ¼º½ will develop a foundation in concepts, issues, discoveries and methodological approaches to the interdisciplinary endeavor of neuroscience. С¸£Àûµ¼º½ will discover how approaches from different neuroscience subdisciplines complement one another and how the findings can be integrated to provide a more global understanding of the functioning of the nervous system. С¸£Àûµ¼º½ will gather, analyze and interpret scientific data and summarize and communicate empirical results; this process will enhance their familiarity and facility with scientific methodology. С¸£Àûµ¼º½ will also develop their verbal, quantitative and writing skills.
С¸£Àûµ¼º½ will focus in a subfield of neuroscience, and may conduct research with faculty members. С¸£Àûµ¼º½ will gain experience in integrating and synthesizing data, develop a broad background in the sciences and humanities, and acquire skills adaptable to a wide variety of areas and interests. The major will prepare students for career paths that include graduate school, the health professions, research and clinical work.
