?The curriculum provides students with an academic and experiential background for graduate study in the neurosciences and/or employment in a research setting. The program is designed to offer breadth of background while allowing a degree of specialization.

Key Benefits

• Use event-related brain potential (ERP) equipment to explore electrical activity in the brain during a variety of cognitive states. This will give you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the equipment before you even get into the work industry.

• Engage in research specific to the field. We strongly believe that investigation is a crucial aspect for learning. When students reach their own results and draw conclusions from them, they are not only memorizing theory but developing critical thinking and backing this up with evidence.

• Our interdisciplinary senior seminar course is designed to demonstrate the integration of behavioral analysis across multiple levels.

• Elective requirements allow for flexibility and specialization. The careful addition of related minors allow students to add additional depth in their area of specialization.
