Studies in neuroscience combine coursework in psychology, biology, and chemistry to teach how the brain, body, and nervous system work. Students who pursue a neuroscience degree often go into medicine, academia, or research, including robotics and bioengineering.

Neuroscience is generally designed to provide rigorous preparation for advanced study in a PhD program. In addition to coursework in psychology and biology, you'll take required classes in physics and chemistry. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the program, it's not unusual for some classes to be team-taught by biology and psychology professors in order to give each discipline their proper perspective.
