The Department of Neuroscience and Behavior at Barnard College offers learning opportunities that provides a strong background in the biological underpinnings of behavior and cognition. Barnard students electing the Neuroscience and Behavior major are offered introductory and advanced courses in neuroscience and behavior, as well as the possibility of taking courses in cognate disciplines, including psychology, biology, chemistry, physics, cognition, and computer science. Students learn to think analytically and how to conduct research through experience in laboratory courses and in faculty laboratories.
