The Neuroscience program introduces you to the brain, how it functions, and the consequences of its dysfunction due to abnormal development, disease, or injury. Its scope ranges from molecular and cellular biology to complex animal and human neurological systems. You\u2019ll study the effects of the nervous system on behavior, cognition, and emotion and also dive into brain activity modeling through artificial intelligence and computer science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program is interdisciplinary in nature and designed to be flexible, preparing you equally well for direct entry into the workforce or the pursuit of graduate or professional studies, including medical school. Graduates of this program can expect to pursue careers in research, academia, healthcare, biotechnology, data analysis, policy, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-the-neuroscience-program-you-will\">In the Neuroscience program, you will:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Demonstrate knowledge of fundamental neuroscientific concepts, theories, and methods, as well as the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological tools of neuroscience-related disciplines (biology, psychology, or computational neuroscience) as applied within and beyond the broader enterprise of neuroscience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Critique scientific, clinical, and philosophical literature for its impact on neuroscientific inquiry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design scientifically rigorous and ethical research.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate effectively about scientific and technical concepts, questions, and information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Articulate the metaphysical, moral, and societal complexities that arise as we develop a unified neuroscientific understanding of mind, brain, and behavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appreciate the value and challenges of integrating the multiple disciplinary perspectives that make up neuroscientific research and practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"callout-two-column-quote alignfull\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-quote__item callout-two-column-quote__pattern callout-two-column-quote__pattern--left\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-default callout-two-column-quote__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-quote__text callout-two-column-quote__text--left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"t-d3 callout-two-column-quote__kicker\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"color: var(--color-theme-seafoam)\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCurrent Student Profile\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-quote__quote callout-two-column-quote__quote--left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"callout-two-column-quote__quote-text t-p1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Alyssa McKillip, a current Psychology and Neuroscience student says, &#8220;Neuroscience at Butler truly fosters a community of excited students who want to engage in continuous learning, discussion, and understanding.&#8221;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-quote__media callout-two-column-quote__media--right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2023\/07\/08102359\/Alyssa-McKillip-SR-55-scaled.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2023\/07\/08102359\/Alyssa-McKillip-SR-55-scaled.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Woman standing against a stone wall outside.\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"callout-two-column-quote__media-image\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg-secondary-block alignfull\" >\n\t<div class=\"container grid-default wysiwyg__container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg__wrapper wysiwyg__wrapper--hasSidebar\">\n\t\t\t<!-- content from editor -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg__content wysiwyg__contentContainer\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-neuroscience-faqs\">Neuroscience FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"acc-flex-container\">\n\t<div class=\"acc-title-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n\t\t<button id='block_acf-block-69c6e8fde95d1-acc-row' class='acc-row' type='button' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='block_acf-block-69c6e8fde95d1_acc-content-panel'>\n\t\t\t<div id='block_acf-block-69c6e8fde95d1-acc-title' class='acc-title'>\n\t\t\t\tIs Neuroscience a STEM major?\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" id='block_acf-block-69c6e8fde95d1-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/wp-content\/plugins\/butler-acf-blocks-new\/assets\/images\/nav_main_icon_open.png' \/>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div role=\"region\" aria-hidden='true'\n\t\tid='block_acf-block-69c6e8fde95d1-acc-content-panel' class='acc-panel' aria-labelledby=\"block_acf-block-69c6e8fde95d1-acc-row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Yes, Neuroscience is a STEM major.
