Advancing the field of neuroscience through a hands-on approach.
This course introduces students to the field of neuroscience, explores the cellular and molecular basis of neural systems, and discusses the neural basis of cognition. Students are expected to leverage their understanding of biology and chemistry to build a working knowledge of neuroscience fundamentals.
Perception and Movement are fundamentally driven by biological processes. This course provides students with an understanding of the various systems and organs that play a role in the human ability to perceive the world and move through it.
Cognitive Neuroscience is the study of the biological processes that underlie behavior, learning, thought and experience. This course builds on students’ understanding of neuroscience and psychology to explore information processing, behavior, language, and more. Special attention is paid to the neurological factors that drive behavior and give rise to a range of disorders.
This course captures foundational concepts in modern psychiatric care and neuroscience and makes them clear and accessible. It provides students with a broad knowledge base covering many of the latest developments in the field of neuroscience, including our most modern understanding of developmental disorders, various pathologies of neurological systems, the role of microbiology in neurological care, and more.
Upon completion, students will be well prepared to pursue graduate study or work in the sciences, armed with a strong understanding of the current state of both Neuroscience and Mental Health and the connections between both.
 | Online-First - Students enjoy the flexibility of remote coursework and engage with students at other leading institutions |
 | Hands-On - Lab work and hands-on activities from the NNCI provides students with key neuroscience concepts |
 | Psychiatry-Focused - The Clinical Neuropathology course provides students with a robust understanding of modern psychiatry - something not offered by most neuroscience programs |
A degree in neuroscience gives students the opportunity to explore the mind and body and prepare for a number of careers in the medical industry.
A Bachelor’s Degree in Neuroscience prepares students to work in a variety of roles in many sectors, from research and development to clinical practice and education. Students will learn the fundamentals of brain function, behavior, and neural mechanisms.
