Pre-Neuroscience, A.A. (General Transfer)

The purpose of this pre-major is to provide the foundation necessary for students to pursue neuroscience-related areas of study at the university level. By declaring this Pre-Neuroscience pre-major, students are on track to graduate with an Associate degree from GRCC and transfer to a 4-year college or university to major in neuroscience or behavioral neuroscience. A bachelor’s degree in this field prepares students for graduate or advanced study in psychology, medicine, biomedical research, or other related fields requiring a scientific foundation. This inter-departmental pre-major emphasizes the biological and psychological foundation for understanding neuroscientific principles, including cellular, genetic, and anatomical mechanisms of behavior, as well as relevant research methods and practices applicable to the study of neuroscience.
