对于对神经生物学和行为特别感兴趣的学生，生物心理学是一门跨学科专业。该计划包括生物学和心理学的五门课。塔夫茨大学具有悠久的教学传统和对本科教育的高度重视。大学的研究任务就是在这样的背景下发展起来的，并且从未与之分离。因此，塔夫茨大学将一所教学学院的紧密联系的社区与一所研究型大学所提供的多种机会结合在一起。在专业化加速的时代，塔夫茨生物学系不寻常地提供了广泛而全面的生物科学研究方法。生物化学家，发育生物学家和免疫学家每天在一个统一的部门中与生态学家，进化生物学家和保护生物学家进行互动。由于未来的技术，环境和
Biopsychology is an interdepartmental major for students particularly interested in neurobiology and behavior. The program includes five classes from biology and five from psychology. Tufts University has an historical tradition of outstanding teaching and a strong focus on undergraduate education. The research mission of the university was developed in that context and has never been separated from it. Thus, Tufts combines the close-knit community of a teaching college with the multiple opportunities available at a research university.In an era of accelerated specialization, the Tufts Biology Department is unusual in providing a broad and comprehensive approach to study and research in the biosciences. Biochemists, developmental biologists and immunologists interact daily with ecologists, evolutionary biologists and conservation biologists in a single unified department. Because technological, environmental, and social challenges of the future will transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, Tufts also encourages education and research that are interdisciplinary. By completing a biology degree in our department, students will acquire foundational skills to carry with them beyond Tufts.The Biology Department also maintains a strong commitment to environmental literacy and to helping students understand the social dimensions of health care. Many biology majors are involved in either the Environmental Studies program or the Community Health Program.
