Neuroscience Learning Outcomes

Students completing a major in Neuroscience are expected to be able to:

• Demonstrate a broad understanding of neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neurochemistry in relation to sensory processing, behavior, cognition, and health;
• Demonstrate a depth of knowledge in both cell and molecular neurobiology and behavioral and cognitive neuroscience;
• Understand the tools and methods used in neuroscience research and critically analyze the primary literature in specific sub-disciplines within neuroscience;
• Design, conduct, and interpret results of neuroscience experiments and effectively communicate these results in both oral and written form.

The Neuroscience major leads to the Bachelor of Science degree.
