The B.S. program in interdisciplinary neuroscience will provide students with foundational knowledge of the nervous system including a broad array of areas such as development of the nervous system, brain structure and function, cellular and molecular biology, neuropharmacology, neuroethics, research methods, as well as knowledge of neurodegenerative disease and psychological/psychiatric disorders.
The undergraduate program offers three major options (tracks): a B.S. degree with a major in Clinical Neuroscience from the College of Health Sciences, a B.S. degree with a major in Molecular Neuroscience from the College of Environment and Life Sciences, and a B.S. degree with a major in Neuropharmacology from the College of Pharmacy. The option for different neuroscience majors is unique and makes this URI major truly distinct with regard to undergraduate education. Please note: students may only earn a Neuroscience degree in one track due to the overlapping of preparation and core courses needed for the major
