Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience (Co-op) - Neurosystems and Computational Neuroscience

Drexel’s Bachelor of Science (BS) in Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary program for students interested in the biological bases of thought and behavior. This major is well-suited for students considering professional roles or research careers in medicine, neurobiology, neurology, animal science, neuroengineering neuroscience and other health-related fields.This is a joint program between the Department of Biology and the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems. By combining expertise across multiple disciplines, our innovative curriculum reflects the present and prepares for the future of the rapidly-evolving neuroscience field. Students gain a strong foundation in diverse yet connected areas, including biology, psychology, mathematics, biomedical engineering, statistics, neuroethics and computer science.The BS in Neuroscience program best fits students committed to researching the intersection of multiple fields contributing to neuroscientific knowledge and its broader applications. Neuroscience majors learn about but are not limited to careers in biology, clinical care, psychology, cognitive science or biomedical engineering. Instead, the emphasis is on integrating expertise across these fields to understand, repair and enhance neural systems in healthy or diseased organisms.Neurosystems and Computational Neuroscience focuses on understanding how different regions of the brain work together to process information and generate complex behaviors by examining the interactions between groups of neurons, neural circuits, and larger brain networks. Computational neuroscience aims to unravel the fundamental principles of brain function, such as perception and memory, by integrating experimental data, theoretical modeling, and computer simulations.

Official transcripts must be sent directly from your high school to Drexel They cannot accept self-submitted transcripts. You are required to submit transcripts from each high school attended. Transcripts must include all coursework from grades nine 9 ten 10 and eleven 11 Twelfth 12th grade coursework in progress should also be included.Important notes for international applicants - A transcript is official only when it is sent directly from an institution to the Office of Admissions or when it is officially signed stamped in color and sealed. Use your legal name on all documents should match the name listed on your passport. All students who attended any portion of secondary school outside of the US are required to submit an official academic record with notarized English translation from every secondary or postsecondary school attended Transcripts must reflect 9th 10th and 11th grade coursework and grades earned as well as any 12th grade coursework in progress.Two letters of recommendation are required.
