Program Overview

The Neuroscience degree is an exciting interdisciplinary program combining biology and
psychology that will give you a comprehensive understanding of the brain and behavior. This
program includes coursework in biology, biochemistry, neuroanatomy, and psychology,
providing knowledge necessary for graduate study. You will learn translatable skills in research
methods, statistics, and data analysis. This major is a bridge into any career or graduate program
requiring a biological or psychological background, especially in medicine, clinical psychology,
and rehabilitation.

As a graduate of our neuroscience program you will have a wide array of career opportunities at your fingertips whether you choose to pursue further education or enter immediately into the workforce. If you choose graduate school, you will be prepared for programs in neuroscience, neurobiology, psychology, pharmacology, research, public health, biotechnology, and more. Our program is also uniquely suited for pre-med students which opens the door to med school upon graduating from Anderson University.
