Bachelor of Arts - Neuroscience

Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that correlates the biological and physiological processes of brain function with behavior (e.g.- synaptic functioning and its effect on drug addiction). Students that study neuroscience are left with an understanding of these biochemical, physiological, and psychological choices that brain behavior and functioning.

The neuroscience programs at Manhattanville College are intended to provide a strong foundation for students planning on dedicating themselves to benchwork/ fieldwork and/ or graduate studies within the biological or biopsychological sciences post-graduation. This includes pursuing a career path as a health professional (M.D./ D.O./ D.V.M./ D.D.S.) or a scientist (M.S., Ph.D.).

To prepare students for these career paths, our degree offers coursework such as Human Anatomy and Physiology, Human Memory, Molecular Neurobiology, Genetics, Statistics, and Cognitive Psychology, among others.

In addition to coursework, the Major will provide students access to several discipline specific teaching laboratories on campus (e.g.- anatomy, chemistry, general biology, research), as well as access to a robust research program and experiential learning opportunities (internships, research, etc.).

The program also will provide a variety of internship opportunities, and Tri-Beta Honor Society events that may be explored by Manhattanville's students.

Together, the program will prepare these individuals to become global leaders within the field of neuroscience; which is aligned with the mission statement of the college.
