Course Descriptions

Neuroscience is emerging through the explosive growth of research in the neural sciences and increased interest in the mechanisms that support behavior in humans and in animal models.

Your neuroscience courses will be drawn primarily from biology and psychology courses. You’ll build upon those courses with foundational work in chemistry, physics, and computer science.

It’s important that the classes you take apply to your program of study. You can find more about neuroscience course requirements in the academic bulletin and use iGPS to create your academic plan.

If you have questions, get in touch with your academic advisor.

Substance abuse and mental health issues impact every single country. Here in the neuroscience department, we’re trying to better the treatment for those struggling with substance abuse and mental health problems. Spend your spring break with us in the Dominican Republic learning about issues surrounding substance use and mental health in the country. This time will inform and challenge you to observe and solve problems related to substance abuse and mental health.

All of our neuroscience students are encouraged to participate in research, in laboratories across the School of Science and the IU School of Medicine, utilizing the state-of-the-art experimental methods available to you. Your Senior Capstone is an independent, creative effort that is integrative and builds on your previous work in the major.
