Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Neuroscience] From Wheaton College Illinois

Neuroscience is one of the fastest growing interdisciplinary fields of study in the 21st century and its influence has been widespread. It has extended an impact on disciplines beyond the natural sciences to include: philosophy, law, business, the arts, the social sciences, and the humanities. As the field has grown there has been an increase in the number of undergraduate and graduate interdisciplinary neuroscience programs across the nation and demand for them has increased.

Nationally, neuroscience is one of the top 10 career options and is very popular with national and foundation funding support. Studying the nervous system is critical in helping make the connections between mind and brain, and this mind-brain link has significant theological implications on questions of human personhood.

This program encourages interdisciplinary coursework and collaboration for students and faculty across the natural and social sciences, the arts, and the humanities. It offers an opportunity for students who see the natural sciences of physics, geology, biology, and chemistry as distant fields an opportunity to engage in the scientific process, develop research skills, and be critical evaluators of scientific research in an area that has a great degree of theological impact- most notably the brain.
