The Neuroscience program at Rice University, administered by the BioSciences Department, offers an interdisciplinary education covering fundamental disciplines essential to neuroscience. It includes opportunities for experiential learning and aims to provide understanding of how cognition and behavior are encoded in neural processes. The program addresses various aspects of the brain, including brain structures related to cognitive processes, biochemical processes in brain functions, and interactions between the brain, behavior, and biology. It prepares students for practical problems such as neurophysiology of disease, treatment for pathologies related to aging, stroke, autism, and hearing impairments, as well as human behavior related to risk, addiction, and social pathologies. The program offers a Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree with a Major in Neuroscience and a Minor in Neuroscience. The BA degree provides a strong foundation in science and engineering basics and multidisciplinary core areas. Project-based laboratory courses are required, and students can pursue independent research. The minor is available for students with other majors but who want foundational knowledge of brain function. Students are encouraged to participate in undergraduate research, with many having already done so at Rice and in the Houston community. The program includes a range of introductory and advanced courses, including NEUR 111, NEUR 238, NEUR 304, NEUR 305, NEUR 306, NEUR 308, NEUR 310, NEUR 318, NEUR 319, NEUR 321, NEUR 322, NEUR 323, NEUR 335, NEUR 350, NEUR 362, NEUR 364, NEUR 376, NEUR 377, NEUR 379, NEUR 380, NEUR 381, NEUR 382, NEUR 383, NEUR 401, NEUR 402, NEUR 411, NEUR 412, NEUR 415, NEUR 416, NEUR 501, NEUR 502, NEUR 504, NEUR 505, NEUR 506, NEUR 508, NEUR 510, NEUR 515, NEUR 516, NEUR 517, NEUR 518, NEUR 519, NEUR 520, NEUR 521, NEUR 522, NEUR 523, NEUR 525, NEUR 530, NEUR 535, NEUR 540, NEUR 550, NEUR 564,The Neuroscience program at Rice University, administered by the BioSciences Department, offers an interdisciplinary education covering fundamental disciplines essential to neuroscience.
