BUFFALO, N.Y. — Students interested in neuroscience have a new opportunity this semester at the University at Buffalo.
The university is now offering an undergraduate major and minor in neuroscience.
This program will lead to a Bachelor of Science degree and contains a diverse curriculum with focuses on subjects like how the central nervous system is organized, and how it guides behavior.
"We've always had students at UB, who were interested in neuroscience," says Derek Daniels, Ph.D., "until now, those students were forced to find their own paths by taking advantage of neuroscience-related options in other majors. We are now thrilled to offer a major specifically designed for students who want to pursue a career in neuroscience."
Daniels is a professor of psychology at UB and is one of the originators of the new program.
Any students that major in the neuroscience program have the opportunity to conduct research under UB faculty members, and have access to prehealth advisers. These students will also have the opportunity to explore career fields in areas like graduate or professional degree programs and positions in research laboratories.
Students who are interested in the neuroscience major are asked to contact Shannon Brown at smbrown3@buffalo.edu.
