Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Neuroscience] From Duke University

Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary experience that synthesizes discovery from diverse sources of knowledge. As a neuroscience student at Duke University, you will be challenged to explore this knowledge derived from three levels of analysis: 

• molecules within the cells of nervous systems
• neural circuits for which cells are organized and interconnected
• behaviors that emerge from the functions of neural circuits

The A.B. major in neuroscience comprises 5 foundational classes plus 5 elective courses. You should plan to complete all 5 foundational classes before your senior year, and before any in-depth seminar or lecture course at the 400-level or above. While this counsel is not enforced, it is strongly recommended and will certainly facilitate getting the most learning and practical experience out of your academic and scholarly activities in the Neuroscience major.
