MSU continues to give students more degree options with the
inclusion of the new Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience program, introduced
for the first time this semester. Housed in the Department of Psychology, the
neuroscience program at MSU is an interdisciplinary program including elements
of biology, chemistry and psychology. Faculty affiliates from other MSU
academic departments within the College of Science and Technology collaborate
within the program to teach students about the development, function, chemistry
and pathology of the human nervous system. Among other topics, students will
explore how drug use, gender and aging affect the brain.
Students must complete a total of 120 credit hours to earn a
Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience. Coursework consists of 36 general
education credits, 21 neuroscience core credits, 32 neuroscience guided
elective credits and 31 general elective credits.
Students in the Neuroscience program not only receive a
multidisciplinary education, they will also have the opportunity to participate
in groundbreaking neuroscience research. Students work hand in hand with
faculty members to conduct research, and they will have the opportunity to
publish their research and present it at state, regional and national
conferences.
A degree in neuroscience opens up a wide variety of career
opportunities for students, or to pursue a graduate degree. Career options for
graduates of MSU’s neuroscience program include:
- Community and social service
- Biotechnology
- Pharmaceutical research
- Postsecondary education
- Medical science
- Clinical psychological research
