Bachelor in Neuroscience

Neuroscience is a cross-disciplinary major centered on studying the brain and the nervous system. It combines many traditional fields of study, including biology, psychology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, engineering, mathematics, and computer science.

The brain is perhaps the most remarkable phenomenon in the biological universe, controlling who we are and all that we do—from the regulation of our every function to the execution of complex thoughts and emotions.

Because understanding the brain impacts every aspect of our lives, neurobiologists contribute to a wide variety of career fields.

The neuroscience major at WSU also offers specialization tracks for pre-medicine students and pre-veterinary students as well as three options in computational neuroscience.
