What Will You Learn?
As a neuroscience student at USF, you'll learn to apply a foundational knowledge of neuroscience to promote social justice, advocate for societal attitudes that embrace neurodiversity, and ensure neurological and mental health equity.
Is the Neuroscience Major Open to Transfer Students?
The neuroscience major is currently only available as a four-year program open to first-year applicants. Students transferring to USF from other universities and wishing to graduate in fewer than four years are encouraged to explore the neuroscience minor. We anticipate opening the major to transfer students in 2027, at which time neuroscience will appear as an option on the transfer student application.
