A concentration allows you to specialize in a certain area within your major, offering a depth of information and hands-on experiences that you may not otherwise get. Many students in this major will concentrate in one area to work in a specific field after college, as well as find mentors and internships before they even graduate.
Students in this major must choose a concentration.
You’ll focus on understanding neuroscience at the cellular level through in-depth study of the structure and function of neurons and the regulation of molecules that support the physiological workings of the nervous system.
You’ll find career opportunities after graduation in fields that range from medicine to medical research to pharmacy and lab work. Many Neuroscience majors go to professional schools in medicine, veterinary medicine, or health sciences, or into graduate programs encompassing virtually all areas of biomedical sciences and psychology.
