Majoring in Cell Biology and Neuroscience can take you where you want to go!
Our tiered curriculum structure, along with an expanding selection of elective course topics, enables our majors to acquire a broad and solid foundation necessary for careers in biological and health sciences. Our core courses expose students to a wide range of topics in current cell biology and neuroscience and their application in medical research and health treatments. In addition, as the majority of our graduates plan to pursue career in life science and health fields, we also offer an expanding selection of elective courses covering important topics in these fields including cell biology, neuroscience, physiology, virology, parasitology, immunology, histology and endocrinology.
Arts and Sciences in Action: A Biological View of the World
"I found cellular signaling fascinating. It was captivating for me to think about how cells, though tiny, are the basic building blocks of life. Basic life functions are encoded in the cells’ signaling mechanisms and diseases are the results of dysfunction in cellular signaling mechanisms. I thought those aspects of Cell Biology were extremely important in finding cure for HIV. Additionally, I just want to add that my professor, Dr. Anne Carr-Schmid, was amazing. She made difficult topics easy to understand."
