Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system and its impact on behavior and cognitive functions. This interdisciplinary field integrates several disciplines, including psychology, psychiatry, biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine. It is the interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience that requires the participation of multiple units, including the Department of Biology, the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, and the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in collaboration with Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics (NEXT) in offering this degree, as well as the Texas A&M Institute for Neuroscience.  Students completing the 120 hour B.S. in Neuroscience, with an emphasis in Translational and Preclinical Studies, will be well prepared for graduate study, as well as to enter entry-level healthcare and technical occupations. The core courses for this degree will include a foundation in the life sciences, and a foundational sequence in neuroscience that will prepare students for more advanced courses. For the concentration of the degree administered by the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, in collaboration with the Department of Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics in the College of Medicine, students will complete courses focused on biomedical, translational, and preclinical neuroscience.
