Overview

This powerful Neuroscience program cuts across academic disciplines to give you a deep understanding of the brain and the rest of the central nervous system. In small classes, you’ll work side-by-side with outstanding faculty, exploring the subtleties and complexities of the brain, the most complex machine in the universe. You’ll study biology, psychology and chemistry.

You’ll investigate the development of the brain and learn how it remembers things, manages stress, and recognizes tastes, smells and other sensory information. You’ll find an engaging new home in Parmer Hall, the campus’s newest building, with 16 labs and state-of-the-art scientific equipment. This major is outstanding preparation for a career in medicine, research, counseling and many other fields.

Features

You can focus your studies directly on your professional goals by choosing one of two academic tracks within the Neuroscience major from Illinois Dominican University :

Behavioral Neuroscience focuses on the relationship between the brain and behavior, and examines the neural mechanisms of memory, emotion and mental illness.

Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience focuses on the biological aspects of neural function and development, and is ideal for students interested in medical school

Due to overlap in course content, it is not possible to combine the behavioral neuroscience track with a psychology major or minor. Similarly, it is also not possible to combine the cellular and molecular neuroscience track with a biology major or minor. Other than these two restrictions, the neuroscience track can be combined with any other major or minor.
