Neuroscience students gain the following marketable proficiencies:

Problem Solving

Apply foundational knowledge of the brain to novel situations or contexts (e.g. case studies, research questions)

Critical Thinking

Learn independent and analytical thinking through reading, analyzing, and evaluating information from multiple types of sources (scientific texts, research articles, laboratory data)

Quantitative Analysis

Utilize sound statistical and/or quantitative approaches to display, analyze, and critically evaluate data

Research and Discovery

Contribute to discovery processes to reveal new foundational knowledge, methods, or treatments

Collaborative/Team Learning

Effectively participate in team learning and research to clearly and effectively communicate scientific data and concepts both verbally and in writing
