The Bachelor of Science program in neuroscience explores how the brain and nervous system operate to control bodily function, behavior and mental states. You receive interdisciplinary training at the intersection of biology, chemistry and psychology, gaining hands-on research experience in a collaborative, close-knit community within ASU's Department of Psychology. This program offers direct access to award-winning faculty and research labs. Coursework spans four key domains of neuroscience: Behavioral neuroscience: How does the brain work to control behavior? Cellular and molecular neuroscience: How do the cells of the nervous system work? Cognitive neuroscience: How does brain activity underlie our thoughts and emotions? Systems and computational neuroscience: How do the billions of neurons work together?
