Educational Neuroscience, BS

University of Alabama

The purpose of the Educational Neuroscience B.S. Program is to train future educational practitioners, administrators, and researchers in the interdisciplinary field of educational neuroscience. The rapidly expanding area of behavioral neuroscience has led to new ways of understanding the learning process and the conditions under which learning occurs. Tomorrow’s educators will need to be well-versed in these new research traditions in order to be better able to design and deliver instruction.Career Opportunities: In addition to opportunities for graduate training in educational neuroscience and related fields, this degree can lead to careers in the public sector, such as health systems administration, community development and resources, and non-governmental organizations, as well as in the private sector such as data analysis, cognitive diagnosis and assessments, and educational technology. This is also an excellent undergraduate degree if a student is planning to pursue medical school, law school, or business school.
