Overview

Through the Neuroscience - Cellular and Molecular 123-credit-hour interdisciplinary undergraduate degree at Temple University, you’ll investigate cell structure, circuits, development, electrical properties, signaling and tissue organization to better understand how the nervous system integrates multicellular organisms.

Key facts

You can pursue careers and graduate degrees in biochemistry, biophysics, biomedical sciences, biotechnology, dentistry, medicine and pharmacy, or pursue research positions at government agencies and university laboratories.

Deepen your curiosity for the complex composition of the major cellular components of the system and understand how they function to communicate with each other and respond to the outside world. Neuroscience majors will explore neuroscience and related topics with required elective courses in the major, which range from Systems Neuroscience and Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience to Research Techniques in Molecular Biology and Neural Basis of Behavior.

Students will study learning and memory, motor coordination, reflexes and sensory processing. The curriculum emphasizes neurological processing at the cellular and molecular levels, culminating in a research course during your final year in the program. At the completion of this program, students should have a rich understanding of the structural and functional levels of organization in the nervous system; the development of this system; and the current tools and paradigms of research in the field.

Future Career

The College’s state-of-the-art labs and research centers provide you with opportunities to work alongside faculty on cutting-edge research as early as your first year in the program. You'll continue to perform research through the final year, when you will present your results at a departmental symposium.
