由于最近的技术进步，神经科学（对神经系统的科学研究）和认知科学（对如何在人脑中表示和转换信息的研究）之间的联系越来越紧密。亚利桑那大学在提供结合了两者的本科课程方面非常独特。NSCS计划的学生将在神经科学和认知科学的动态界面学习。该课程包括探索基础知识的核心课程和一系列选修课程，使学生能够在这个高度跨学科的领域中追求自己的兴趣。特别鼓励实验室研究。
Neuroscience (the scientific study of the nervous system) and Cognitive Science (the study of how information is represented and transformed in the human brain) are moving ever closer together due to recent technological advances. Learn how an undergraduate Neurobiology emphasis can prepare you for medical school, a graduate degree, research fields or a career in biotechnology. Neurobiology is the study of the cellular and molecular level of the nervous system as well as its network functioning and impact on behavior. Students seeking a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science with a Neurobiology emphasis gain a broad base of interdisciplinary study. Their solid foundation in chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics is then applied to studies in genetics, human and animal behavior and development, mind modeling, neural networking and neural data analysis. Undergraduates can use the neurobiology focus as a stepping-stone to medical school, research ventures or careers in a variety of fields.
