Bachelor of Science - Neuroscience

The neuroscience major and minor at Lycoming College are designed to enhance students’ understanding of the mind, brain, and nervous system. Working closely with their faculty, students can model human learning disorders using fruit flies, study reward and addiction, discover how dopamine is transmitted and how mouse neurons develop axons and dendrites to coordinate balance, or be led by your own research question! The program takes an interdisciplinary approach, allowing students to look at the nervous system from biological, philosophical, psychological, cognitive, behavioral, and sociological perspectives.
