    About Bachelor of Neuroscience

    Understanding how the brain performs its functions and gives rise to cognition, learning, and behavior is one of the last frontiers of science. We are in an era of intense interest in neuroscience, the field of scientific inquiry focused on explaining how the brain works.

    Indeed, neuroscience is now a major national and international priority. The establishment of the Iowa Neuroscience Institute (INI) at the University of Iowa highlights this momentum and demonstrates our commitment to becoming a renowned hub for neuroscience research and education. 

    An undergraduate degree in neuroscience opens doors to exciting opportunities across the health sciences, medicine, graduate school, and the biotechnology industry.

    Students who major in neuroscience may not earn a second major in biology or psychology, but may earn a minor in either area.
