Overview

The Neuroscience major from Samford University emphasizes hands-on exploration through faculty-mentored student research and guided internships in both psychology and biology, the two departments that co-host this major. Unlike other schools where the major is housed in only one department, sharing this major in both departments ensures the well-rounded and analytical approach that does not lose sight of the very human applications of this work and how it glorifies God and Creation.

Key facts

Neuroscience is a modern version of the ancient human quest to understand ourselves. Unlike the ancients, we know that there is a dynamic, reciprocal relationship between the brain, thoughts, and behavior. This broad, interdisciplinary effort connects molecules to minds and reaches to the soul. Molecular and cellular biology, chemistry, and physics improve our understanding of how neurons create signals, while psychology, psychiatry, and neurology link neural processes and systems to the mind and behavior. Neuroscience depends upon a strong foundation in the behavioral and basic sciences, mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Samford's undergraduate neuroscience major provides a rigorous but flexible course of study that encompasses this broad field.

What Will you Learn?

The field of neuroscience explores knowledge at the intersection of biology, psychology and computational science. This rapidly-growing field encompasses normal brain function, language and cognition, artificial intelligence, and the causes and treatments of neuropathological conditions.

Career Preparation

An emphasis on reading literature, discussions, and career-relevant writing and presentations prepares students for internships, jobs, and graduate schools.

Because of the interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience, there are many career opportunities that may be pursued that do not need graduate education, such as disabilities and special needs workers, Medical and psychological communications workers, systems engineers, assistant biomedical engineers, biotechnology & biomedical technicians, and researchers in industrial, biochemical, and medical labs.
