Be a part of cutting-edge research on the mysteries of the brain, preparing for a fulfilling career or graduate studies.
The multidisciplinary study of neuroscience draws on the fields of biology and psychology to understand how the brain generates behavior, emotion and cognition. It provides excellent preparation for medical school and graduate studies and offers a gateway to careers in the research industry and fields related to psychology, gerontology, biology, chemistry, physics, physical therapy, speech pathology and audiology, nursing, special education, biomedical engineering, business, and law, among many others.
This degree is a gateway to careers in the sciences—from psychology to biology, chemistry, biomedical engineering, nursing, gerontology, speech-language pathology and occupational therapy. Or, you can make an impact in other fields, such as special education, business, law and public health.
One of the best things about the neuroscience program is that the classes and the major are intimate and small. You really get to know your professors and they get to know you. At Adelphi, your professors become your mentors.
