The CNBC, in collaboration with the Departments of Psychology & Biological Sciences at CMU, is proud to announce the creation of a new major in Neuroscience.

The major, which is available to students in the Dietrich College of Humanities & Social Sciences as well as to those in the Mellon College of Science grew out of a previously established double major in Biology & Psychology.  However, rather than being a unified double major, this represents a more focused single major to train students for a variety of careers in Neuroscience.  The major represents a deeper collaboration between the two colleges and allows students from both colleges to have a more meaningful common educational experience.

All students in the major take a variety of basic science and mathematics courses as well as courses in Cellular Neurobiology, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Computational Neuroscience.  Students then begin to specialize in one of these three areas while continuing to have options to explore electives in all three areas of Neuroscience.
