• Bachelor’s in Neurobiology at Harvard University is offered as a 4-year teaching program.
  • This bachelor program has a co-op work option.
  • To be eligible to participate in a full-time Co-op Work Term, students must meet the GPA requirements.
  • The student to faculty ratio is 16:1 which bridges the gap between faculty and students.
  • Some of the main courses that students will study in this program are:
    • Neural pathways
    • Neuronal signaling
    • Neurobiology of disease
    • Nervous system development
    • Integrative functions and systems
  • The Neurobiology Department, the first of its kind in the country, was established to bring together faculty of many disciplines including biochemistry, molecular biology, anatomy, physiology, and medicine, to study the development and function of the brain.
  • Their scientists now pursue basic research programs that strive to understand how complex neural circuits are shaped and reshaped during the development of the brain and in the adult brain to generate thoughts and memories, process sensory information, and drive behavior.
  • Their studies have a direct bearing on neurological diseases such as neurodegeneration, disorders of cognitive function, epilepsy, and disorders of sensory information processing, and offer insights into potential therapies.
  • Career positions may include: 
    • Biologist/technician
    • Business
    • Conservation
    • Education
    • Health care
    • Natural resources, etc with an average salary of 36,475 USD per year.
