Neuroscience
The Neuroscience Curriculum
Neuroscience is the multidisciplinary study of the nervous system, with the aim of understanding the biological basis of behavior. The study of neuroscience at Hamilton College began as a psychobiology concentration in 1976 and was one of the first undergraduate concentrations in that area of study. The Interdisciplinary Concentration in Neuroscience is currently administered jointly by the Department of Psychology and Department of Biology. The requirements for the concentration include 12 courses from the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. Every concentrator undertakes a senior research project that culminates in a thesis and an oral presentation.
