Bachelor of Arts - Neuroscience - Molecular/Cellular Neuroscience track

Neuroscience is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field of study whose primary focus is understanding the neural mechanisms that regulate mental processes and behavior in both humans and animals. At Ohio Wesleyan University, the neuroscience program combines courses in Psychology, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics and Computer Science to provide students adequate preparation for graduate study and a career in the field of neuroscience or a related discipline.

The Molecular/Cellular Neuroscience track aligns closely with students interested in studying the brain from a “bottom-up” approach that investigates the cell biology of brain cells, genetic regulation, and the interactions of molecules (e.g. protein, DNA, RNA) in these cells, and how these interactions give rise to more complex behaviors.
