Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience
Neuroscience major specialization tracks
- Pre-medicine – Prepare for medical school and other health care fields, including optometry, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant, or physical/occupational therapy.
- Pre-veterinary – Veterinarians diagnose and control animal diseases, treat sick and injured animals, prevent the transmission of animal diseases to people, and advise owners on the proper care of animals.
- Computational neuroscience – WSU’s computational neuroscience program is an interdisciplinary offering that allows students to study both neurobiology and computer science.
- Biomedical Business – Combining neuroscience and business courses, this program helps students develop the skills they need to succeed in the dynamic world of biotechnology entrepreneurship.
I am hoping to become a physician’s associate in the future. I don’t know what specialty yet, but I have always loved children, so probably pediatrics or obstetrics. I hope I can help people feel better in the future.
