Overview

Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary science dedicated to understanding how nervous systems are built and function at different scales, from molecules and cells to circuits and systems. Neuroscientists are involved in work to improve the human condition with new discoveries that could prevent or treat neurodevelopmental defects and disorders, psychiatric disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Neuroscience program courses at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee come primarily from the Department of Biological Sciences and the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Students will learn about the structure and function of nervous systems, from the cellular level to the systems level; the connections between the brain and behavior; experimental design and research methods; and data analysis, interpretation, and use. Within the major students can take coursework in neuroscience subdisciplines such as cognitive, cellular and molecular, or computational neuroscience.

Career Resources and Job Outcomes

Planning your career begins well before senior year.

This will permit you to make the best use of campus resources that can help you achieve your professional goals. Psychology majors enter a wide range of professions. Some students go on to graduate school, which is required to become a practicing counselor or therapist. Others find careers in business, education, human services, and other professions. Choosing a career can be a harder decision than choosing a psychology major because there are so many career options.
