Neuroscience Major

"The current trend in science is to move beyond traditional disciplines and approach the understanding of nature from multiple perspectives. That's exactly what Concordia's interdisciplinary neuroscience program is all about.Studying neuroscience -- the brain and nervous system -- will make you an explorer of what are called the ""final frontiers"" of science.Study how the brain and nervous system acquire, process and integrate information from the environment. Evaluate how this information affects behavior of an organism. ur major comprises unique, interdisciplinary courses and electives from other areas of science and mathematics. Understanding the complexities of the nervous system requires a strong, interdisciplinary foundation and the practice of multiple approaches toward solving challenging problems affecting the nervous system. With our emphasis on learning neuroscience by doing neuroscience and ample opportunities for community engagement, service learning, science communication, original research, and more, you'll have an edge when applying for graduate and professional programs or landing your first job in neuroscience. Engage in hands-on laboratory and service-learning opportunities.Complete a learning experience outside the classroom, such as an internship, independent study or a research project.Take courses designed specifically for neuroscience and taught by faculty from four disciplines. Enjoy a competitive edge when applying for health professions programs, neuroscience research, or industry employment."
