Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary program that draws from psychology, biology, chemistry, kinesiology, physics, mathematics and other disciplines. The neuroscience program provides students access to the field by linking curricula, faculty, and students in a major that requires foundations in at least two natural sciences and allows students to explore connections with courses in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
