Overview

Students who complete the Neuroscience program of the University at Buffalo will be prepared and competitive for further study in both professional and graduate school. In addition, these students will be well-equipped to enter the job market in which neuroscience has become an increasingly driving force.

Program Learning Outcomes

Students will develop literacy in the neurosciences with particular emphasis on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that make up the central nervous system as well as the physiology and pathophysiology of disease and treatment of disease states that will make them qualified candidates for a wide variety of biomedical career opportunities, including; professional school (i.e. medical school, dental school, law school), advanced research, pharmaceutical research and development, and other health professions

Students will be able to reframe the current challenges of understanding how the brain functions in health and disease to develop insights into how the brain controls behavior.

Students in the program will be able to relate the basic connectivity and anatomy of the human brain and how such connectivity may impact disease states.

Students will be able to coalesce information across a wide range of basic sciences and disciplines, applying them to a clinical and translational understanding of the brain.

Students will be able to integrate the organization of the central nervous system and the physiology and pathophysiology of disease and treatment of disease states to create an inclusive background of modern medical neuroscience.

Students will be able to relate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie both behavioral and cognitive dysfunction in the central nervous system to changes in central nervous system physiology in both adult and developing central nervous systems resulting in diverse and debilitating neurological disease.

Students will be able to apply their understanding of the neurosciences at the level of individual genes, cells, organs, neural circuits, and animal/human behavior.

Students will be able to evaluate how these processes can become dysfunctional and give rise to neurological and neuropsychiatric disease.

Careers

Neuroscience is a growing field, the interdisciplinary nature of this field-of-study equates to an equally growing number of career opportunities. Students in this program will be well equipped to enter graduate and professional degree programs as well as pursue a variety of careers in research and healthcare.

General requirements

Admission to UB’s freshman class is selective and is based in part on the quality of your secondary school academic record and the number of spaces available in the class

You should feel confident applying to UB if you have an above-average academic record and have taken challenging courses in high school to help prepare you to be successful at university

UB uses a 4.0 grading scale and we expect students applying here to have the equivalent of a 3.0 on that scale. That is the same as a grade of B or 83 on a 100-point scale
