Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Mental Health (General)

Carleton University

In Carleton’s Neuroscience and Mental Health (BSc) program, you’ll study the nervous system, including molecules, cells, tissues and whole organisms, to understand the relationships between thought and action, sensation and behaviour, stimulus and emotion, and to further define the basis of neurological disease and mental health. Carleton’s specialized Neuroscience courses start in the first year of your degree. Our tight-knit student community actively collaborates with faculty on research into mental health and disease, focusing on topics including stress, neurodegeneration, nutrition and metabolism, transgenerational effects of trauma among Indigenous peoples, environmental factors impacting brain development and mechanisms of pain modulation.
