Discover Lipscomb University: A Leader in Neuroscience Education

Lipscomb University is an excellent choice for students pursuing a degree in neurobiology due to its strong reputation for academic excellence and cutting-edge research facilities. The university's small class sizes and personalized approach to teaching ensure that students receive individualized attention and support throughout their studies.

Today's medical schools are seeking students with diverse academic backgrounds, and the MCAT has added a psychology component to its entrance exam. To better prepare students for the MCAT and medical school while also preparing them for entrance into graduate programs in clinical neuropsychology and behavioral science or a career in laboratory research, Lipscomb University’s Department of Biology, in collaboration with the Department of Psychology, Counseling, and Family Science, has created a new Bachelor of Science degree in Neurobiology.

Neurobiology students will learn cellular, molecular and anatomical aspects of neurobiology while also gaining insight into the influence of this biology on behavior. By taking a more biological approach than many other programs, placing a focus on understanding the molecular basis of neurobiology, Lipscomb students will be adequately prepared for medical school and health care careers and will also be strong candidates for graduate programs in psychology, behavioral science and neuropsychology. In addition, Neurobiology majors will also earn a minor in Neuropsychology, providing students with a unique and multi-disciplinary understanding of neurobiology.
