The Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Neuroscience focuses on the science behind behavior – starting with the brain. You will study how neural systems biology and chemistry shape how we think, feel and act. By combining psychology with the life sciences, the program prepares you to investigate behavior at its source and apply that understanding in health, research and science-driven fields.
