BSc in Neuroscience in Fort Collins United States | Colorado State University

The Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Neuroscience Special Academic Unit provides an interdisciplinary undergraduate program featuring faculty from five colleges and ten departments. Students can choose between two specialized tracks: Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience or Cell and Molecular Neuroscience. Both tracks share a robust curriculum in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biological sciences during the initial two years, diverging by just one course, allowing flexibility for students to change concentrations if their interests evolve. Each program mandates an undergraduate thesis, offering hands-on research experience with faculty mentorship and potential opportunities for publication. Elective courses enable students to explore aspects of the alternate concentration for broader knowledge.

Learning Outcomes
Graduates will achieve:

Mastery of fundamental principles in chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and cellular biology, along with specialized knowledge of nervous system structure and function.

Comprehension of brain function across scales—from molecular processes to cognitive operations—and how dysfunction occurs in neurological disorders and injuries.
Skills to evaluate and communicate scientific findings from neuroscience literature, including clear oral presentation of technical information.
Proficiency in laboratory methods, critical analysis of experimental data, and the capacity to develop new experimental approaches.
