Drexel's Bachelor of Science (BS) in Neuroscience is a cross-disciplinary program designed for students fascinated by the biological foundations of cognition and behavior. This degree program is ideal for those pursuing careers or research in medicine, neurobiology, neurology, animal science, neuroengineering, neuroscience, and related healthcare fields.
This collaborative program involves the Department of Biology and the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences, along with the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems. Our forward-thinking curriculum merges knowledge from various disciplines to address both current and future developments in the fast-changing neuroscience landscape. Students develop expertise in interconnected subjects such as biology, psychology, mathematics, biomedical engineering, statistics, neuroethics, and computer science.
The BS in Neuroscience program is tailored for students dedicated to exploring how multiple scientific fields converge to advance neuroscientific understanding and real-world applications. While neuroscience majors explore career paths in biology, clinical practice, psychology, cognitive science, or biomedical engineering, the program focuses on synthesizing knowledge from these areas to study, treat, and improve neural functions in both healthy and affected organisms.
Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience establishes fundamental knowledge about nervous system operations at cellular, molecular, and genetic levels, equipping students for medical school or advanced studies in biomedical research.
