BA Neuroscience

Not only do students work closely with their professors in a small, cohesive program, but they also take greater responsibility in their research. Seniors taking on research projects don't just handle a section of the research—they design, produce, and write-up their project from top to bottom in collaboration with a professor. And all students present their research; many go on to the Chicago Society for Neuroscience Meeting.

In true liberal arts fashion, students take electives with faculty in biology, psychology, and biochemistry, offering them a multitude of concentrations and research ideas. You might follow Professor Templeton into behavioral science, or study bird songs with Professor Mountjoy to more closely examine memory and the brain. Knox also offers a bachelor of science degree for those who want to cement their foundation in neuroscience and prepare for the professional and graduate work that they'll encounter ahead.
