项目概述

The 神经科学 major at 正规博彩十大网站排名学院 meets the stringent requirements for graduate schools and medical school, while providing 更多的 opportunities to women in STEM than most other 神经科学 programs.

The course work in 神经科学 at 正规博彩十大网站排名学院 prepares and equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary to attain a scientific job after graduation or apply to graduate school or medical school.

The neuroscience program offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the nervous system with the goal of understanding the biological basis of behavior. 神经科学 includes a wide range of approaches from the molecular biology of nerve cells to neural circuit analysis to the biological basis of complex phenomena such as disordered behavior and cognition. The academic program in neuroscience provides a foundation for understanding the biological, 化学, 以及这个领域的心理学原理.

你会学到什么

Specific courses in the major provide knowledge of the methods and practice of science and fundamental concepts in neuroscience. Flexibility in choice of upper-level electives allows a student to design their major depending upon their goals and interests. A final capstone experience in neuroscience provides an opportunity to engage in research projects on contemporary problems within the field. 你将学习:

  • A basic understanding of the structure and function of the nervous system at various levels of the organization
  • Research design, data analysis and critical thinking of an inquiry-based research question
  • An understanding of the ethical issues surrounding neuro-scientific research on human and animal models

项目的亮点

文科

作为一所小型文理学院, Agnes Scott offers STEM students the ability to connect what they are learning in science with other coursework. This enhances their ability to think critically and view science in the context of other topics. Liberal arts colleges are focused on the best practices in teaching and because of that, the STEM 教育 is focused on what current research supports as the best way to teach STEM courses at the undergraduate level. This means that the STEM courses at Agnes Scott are planned and executed based on research of what students need at the undergraduate level.

研究与实习

Agnes Scott requires all 神经科学 majors to gain research or internship experiences. These experiences allow majors to determine what career path they are most interested in. 因为艾格尼丝·斯科特的师生比例很低, faculty are able to get to know their students and help tailor a research or internship experience that best suits each student. 并不是所有的职业道路都需要研究经验. An internship may be 更多的 valuable to some of our majors looking at physical therapy, 兽医学校, 或教育. 在咨询会议期间, 神经科学 faculty will assist majors in determining if research or an internship will further the career path of the major.

经验丰富的教师,女权主义和多样性

The 神经科学 major is still relatively new to liberal arts campuses, 然而, Agnes Scott began the 神经科学 major over 10 years ago, giving us experience in teaching 神经科学 in the liberal arts setting. 艾格尼丝·斯科特为STEM领域的女性发声. Women and non-binary people in STEM are often overshadowed in the male-dominated STEM fields. The students in our STEM classes are able to voice opinions and questions without being overshadowed in these typically male-dominated fields. 根据过去两年的数据, Agnes Scott STEM majors do not have a racial or ethnic majority. The diversity represented in our STEM majors makes our STEM classes stronger. When 更多的 racial and ethnic backgrounds are represented, there is an increase in the opinions and problem-solving that are also represented.

从事神经科学工作

A major in neuroscience opens a number of career doors for graduates—in medicine, 教育, 政府与业界.

Our courses do not only focus on the knowledge necessary to understand 神经科学, but also on the skills necessary to become a successful scientist no matter what career path. 最后, our capstone experience which allows our majors to choose a research experience or an internship that will prepare them for their individual career goals enables our students to be competitive when they graduate Agnes Scott. Because of this individual approach, our students graduate ready to achieve their career goals.
