Neuroscience Bachelor's Degree Overview

Neuroscience is a great degree program if you want to go to medical school or are just curious how the brain works and plays an important part in how we function every day.

Neuroscientists study the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system. They conduct research, work in labs and provide care to patients. Neuroscientists help develop new medications and therapies for neurological disorders.

Understanding biology and the functions of the brain can help researchers and professionals answer medical questions — like how the brain perceives pain or even the cause of disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.

Neuroscience Bachelor's Degree Highlights

  • Take classes on both campuses. You’ll take classes on Main Campus the first two years.  Your next two years will be spent on the Health Science campus, home to The University of Toledo Medical Center.
  • Pathway to medical school. Neuroscience is a great pre-med major because of the program’s coursework in chemistry and biology. You’ll also have access to mentoring and networking opportunities with medical school faculty.
  • Research opportunities. Get involved in research with faculty mentors as early as your freshman year.
  • State-of-the-art facilities. Learn and practice in our cutting-edge facilities and labs. Our professional simulation center offers a second-to-none learning environment with virtual reality and immersive technology.
  • Expert faculty. Our faculty are experts in a wide range of fields and disciplines.
