Neuroscience Departments: Biology, Chemistry & Physics, and Psychology Neuroscience, the study of the structure, development, chemistry, pathology, and function of the nervous system, can trace its origins to prehistory. In the intervening millennia, the study of the nervous system continued, with the beginning of the 20th century marking the age of modern neuroscience. Since then, the rapid advancement in medical science has fueled an exponential growth of the field. Though some neuroscience careers require advanced degrees, there are many possible, high-paying positions for those graduating with a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience. These opportunities can range from pharmaceutical sales to clinical research, and from work in nonprofit science advocacy to law enforcement. The different concentrations in this major allow students to tailor their course work to both their interests and to their career goals. Students wishing to continue their education in neuroscience with the pursuit of a graduate degree can choose from over 52 Masters and 58 Ph.D. programs here in the United States alone.
