At Pomona, neuroscience majors have the unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of neuroscience, perform experimental techniques in state-of-the-art teaching laboratories, and discover how neuroscience provides insight into other liberal arts disciplines, including psychology, economics, computer science and philosophy.
Pomona’s Neuroscience Department is a tight-knit community, supporting student exploration into diverse areas of neuroscience, including:
- cell and molecular neuroscience;
- systems-level neuroscience;
- nervous system disorders such as anxiety and depression;
- neuroscientific models of social behavior and interaction;
- and imaging the mind at work.
The major prepares students for a diverse array of career options, while giving students access to an extensive alumni network of scientists and researchers around the globe.
