Students with career goals in life sciences, health care, science education, mental health, information science, and behavioral science will find appropriate training as a Neuroscience major.

Neuroscience asks how the brain and body produce our sensations, our thoughts, our behavior and the behavior of other animals. Neuroscientists address fundamental and health-related questions that affect every aspect of our lives and society. To answer them, Neuroscience bridges the biological, chemical, physical, behavioral and computational sciences, as well as philosophy, engineering, and medicine. Neuroscience is among the fastest growing fields of science and medicine.

Georgia State University also offers undergraduate students the opportunity to conduct laboratory research through the Neuroscience Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (NUROP) and apply to fellowships through the Brains & Behavior Summer Scholars Program.

Pursuit of a B.S. in Neuroscience degree will prepare the student for careers in biomedicine, mental health, and scientific research. It will also prepare the student for advanced graduate and professional training in medicine, law, and the many academic disciplines that contribute to neuroscience.
