Neuroscience Overview

Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that builds on the foundations of the natural and physical sciences, as well as psychology, to examine the structure and function of the nervous system at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and social levels. Building from a broad base of knowledge in biology, psychology, mathematics, and chemistry, students will apply their neuroscience learning to develop skills in written and oral communication, experimental design and interpretation, and clinical decision-making.

With our strong and collaborative interdisciplinary faculty, innovative learning environments, and research opportunities, neuroscience at Chatham is a fascinating and inspiring field of study, grounded by foundations in all branches of science, united by a sense of wonder and mystery.
