The Neuroscience program at Agnes Scott College uses an interdisciplinary approach to study the nervous system and the structure and function of the brain. This academic program provides a “foundation for understanding the biological, chemical, and psychological principles” necessary to understand the field of neuroscience. Some of the learning outcomes of the Neuroscience major aid students in:

• Demonstrating an understanding of research design, data analysis, and critical thinking
• Understanding research methods used in neuroscience and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the research techniques
• Critically evaluating scientific literature
• Presenting research findings to peers
