Overview

Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary experience that synthesizes discovery from diverse sources of knowledge. Duke University students are challenged to explore this knowledge derived from three levels of analysis:

molecules within the cells of nervous systems
neural circuits for which cells are organized and interconnected
behaviors that emerge from the functions of neural circuits

The integration of these analyses makes neuroscience an exciting adventure of exploration and discovery. To major in Neuroscience at Duke University is to engage in one of the most satisfying endeavors that an education in liberal arts and sciences can offer.

What you will learn

Now more than ever, the broad impact of innovation in neuroscience is extending beyond the traditional academic disciplines where the brain sciences emerged. New dialogue and collaboration exists among neuroscientists and experts in law, business, social sciences, philosophy, the arts, and the humanities.

Accordingly, our curriculum in neuroscience reflects this broadening interdisciplinary platform for discovery and learning, with a rich offering of learning experiences that reflect the exciting growth of neuroscience and its increasing relevance to real-world problems.
