The College of Arts & Sciences is launching a new interdisciplinary major in neuroscience, drawing on the strengths of 10 academic departments —biology, biomedical engineering, biostatistics, chemistry, computer science, exercise and sport science, mathematics, physics and astronomy, psychology and neuroscience, and statistics and operations research.
“We know that there is great demand for a neuroscience major, and we want to better position Carolina to prepare students for future careers in brain science and brain health,” said College of Arts & Sciences Dean Kevin Guskiewicz, who is a neuroscientist and nationally recognized expert on sport-related concussions. “Neuroscience will also be a component of our new Institute for Convergent Science, as we bring together researchers from multiple disciplines to solve grand challenges around disease detection and treatment.”
