Neurologia

Bucknell University's neuroscience major combines the expertise of our top-tier psychology, biology and animal behavior programs. Explore how the brain and nervous system affect appetite, the cognition of music and more. Connect with your professors in small classes and independent research projects. Work with real doctors to understand conditions like autism at Geisinger Medical Center or interact with four species of monkey in our animal behavior labs. These and other hands-on experiences will set you apart in the job market, whether you're planning to attend medical or graduate school or preparing for a career in neuroscience, biology, psychology, animal behavior or research.

Bucknell University neuroscience majors do real research that generates real interest from the academic and professional communities. They explore new frontiers of behavior and cognition and make new discoveries that the world wants to know about. The Neuroscience Program offers financial support for students to share those discoveries. Once per year, we will provide financial assistance to students presenting their research at off-campus academic conferences

The rich tradition of the College of Arts & Sciences forms the heart of Bucknell's liberal arts curriculum. From astronomy, art history and neuroscience to economics, East Asian studies and music, our students explore their passions and discover new interests as they gain different perspectives on a complex world. They choose from dozens of majors and hundreds of courses in the arts and humanities, the social sciences and the natural sciences and mathematics.

Our professors are passionate about their fields and eager to help students dig deep and make exciting intellectual connections. Our graduates are equipped with the critical-thinking, communication and cross-cultural skills that employers seek. Just as important, they gain a strong foundation for a lifetime of curiosity, exploration and personal fulfillment as they prepare to go out and make the world a better place.
