BA/BS in Neuroscience

Neuroscience at the University of New Brunswick's Fredericton campus is a specialization within the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, offered through either the Faculty of Arts or the Faculty of Science. As a sub-field of psychology, the specialization examines how the brain functions and how that activity relates to behaviour. Hands-on laboratory work and research training are standard components of the coursework. Sample courses include Drugs and Behaviour, Survey of the Senses, Experimental Human Neuropsychology, and Experimental Neuropsychology Laboratory, the latter pairing lecture material with laboratory-based experimental work. The specialization suits students seeking a research-oriented grounding in brain and behaviour before pursuing graduate study in neuroscience or psychology, or further training in health-related fields that draw on neuropsychological knowledge.
