Neuroscience at IUPUI is an interdisciplinary program of the School of Science that offers students the opportunity to pursue baccalaureate degree training in cellular/molecular, computational, or behavioral neuroscience. No other program provides the cross-disciplinary research and learning environment that IUPUI offers our students.

As early as their freshman year, our undergraduates are able to participate in research with renowned faculty. Students are at a unique advantage to have an impact in this field because of our strong partnerships with the School of Medicine, as well with organizations in central Indiana that are aligned with the life and health sciences, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries.

Neuroscience is a rapidly advancing field that addresses the structure and function of the nervous system, with particular focus on intersection between the brain and behavior. Neuroscientists routinely draw on the fields of psychology, biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and computer science in their work, and that's one reason neuroscience is such an interesting and challenging field of study.

The B.S. in Neuroscience offers an interdisciplinary curriculum grounded in biology, psychology, physics, chemistry, computer science, and mathematical sciences, with the nervous system as a common focus. Students may pursue concentrations in behavioral, cellular/molecular, or computational neuroscience, culminating in a capstone research experience.
