A distinguishing hallmark of the neuroscience major is that most students engage in undergraduate research beyond the classroom. These experiences can take place on or off campus, during the academic year or during the summer. They often culminate in symposium and conference presentations, as well as professional publications.
Neuroscience majors—especially those considering graduate or medical school—are strongly encouraged to pursue such research opportunities.
