BS in Data Science and Behavioral Neuroscience

The BS in Data Science and Behavioral Neuroscience is a combined major (Khoury College and the College of Science) that integrates biology, psychology, computer science, and data science as you explore the neural circuits underlying brain mechanisms and pathological states — giving rise to behavioral functions. You’ll also gain skills in data manipulation and storage, machine learning, data mining, and information visualization, equipping you to execute brain-mapping efforts like human neuroconnectivity maps.
