Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering & Behavioral Neuroscience
Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering & Behavioral Neuroscience
Overview
This combined major from the College of Engineering and College of Science serves students who wish to develop both a scientific and an engineering mindset to solve problems in bioengineering and behavioral neuroscience. The program includes multidisciplinary fundamentals in bioengineering, developing a tool set to quantitatively model biological and engineered systems as well as design and implement devices, instruments, and implants with a focus on neurological systems. It also combines foundational topics in neuroscience with a rigorous background in life sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics, enabling students to connect the anatomy of the brain, neurons, and networks to the behavior in healthy and pathological states.
Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is the heart of a Northeastern education, combining rigorous coursework with hands-on experience in the classroom, in the lab, and in the field—locally and abroad. With our signature cooperative education (co-op) program, students typically gain six months of work experience integrated as part of the educational program. Both five-year, three-co-op and four-year, two-co-op program options are available.
