Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience

A Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience is designed for students who have an interest in the interdisciplinary field of neuroscience and who are interested in pursuing graduate training in neuroscience, attending medical school, or obtaining a research-related position in biotechnology, the life sciences, or the pharmaceutical industry. The major provides interdisciplinary training in basic scientific principles in the life and physical sciences that are necessary for an understanding of nervous system function, as well as training in the fundamental principles of neuroscience, and opportunities for more advanced training in specific topics in the field. Thus, students will gain a depth of understanding in neuroscience, from the cellular and molecular bases of nervous system function, to a systems-level approach to the study of brain-behavior relationships.

The requirements for all undergraduate degrees are described in the Undergraduate Academic Bulletin. Because the Bulletin describes the requirements in place at a particular time, you must consult the Bulletin that was in effect when you first enrolled at Indiana University as a degree-seeking student. For instance, students entering the university in the summer or fall of 2011 are held to the requirements laid out in the 2011-2012 Bulletin of the College of Arts and Sciences.
