Neuroscience and Cognitive Science: Development and Aging Emphasis

About

With life expectancy on the rise, the study of development and aging is crucial. Graduates who specialize in this branch of neuroscience and cognitive science can help improve the well-being of the aging population. The study of development and aging explores changes in the brain that occur over time. Undergraduates earning a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science with a Development and Aging emphasis gain interdisciplinary expertise. They focus on psychology, developmental disabilities, family studies, and the speech, hearing and language sciences. Students gain a full understanding of developmental and aging processes, examine new approaches to prevention, and explore treatments and ways to boost functioning and quality of life. They will be prepared for graduate studies or in-demand careers in policymaking or educating individuals who care for seniors or people with developmental disabilities.

Core knowledge-specific content; Students will develop a firm understanding of the theories, fundamental principles and concepts, and technologies of brain organization and function from both neuroscience and cognitive science perspectives.

Scientific inquiry; Students will develop the capacity to think critically and with cognitive flexibility about complex problems involving the brain and mind, and will develop the capacity to skillfully communicate concepts and research results to professionals and to the public.

Ethics and Professionalism; Students will apply ethical and professional standards to their evaluation of brain and mind-related research and technical development in the context of their own work and in the context of issues in the larger societal community.
