<p>I've decided that I really want to major in Neuroscience, but I'm not quite sure which schools actually have strong neuroscience programs.</p>
<p>Can anyone help me and tell me which schools have high-ranking neuroscience programs?</p>

<p>Emory has great labs and research opportunities.</p>
<p>Neuroscience is often found with or in psychology programs, especially at LACs. Pomona and Davidson have good neuroscience programs, for example.</p>
<p>(cant judge quality of any undergrad program by grad school rankings...)</p>
<p>some LACs with good neuroscience programs:
Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Colgate, Conn Coll, Kenyon, Middlebury, Pomona, Union, Vassar, Wellesley</p>
<p>some Universities with good neuroscience programs:
Brown, Hopkins, Emory, Michigan. Northwestern, Penn, Texas, UCLA, UVA</p>
<p>Columbia: a couple of Nobelists and a new $200</a> Million Neuroscience Center coming soon.</p>
<p>Not sure which is best. Here are some possibilities.</p>

<p>I would <em>love</em> to major in neuroscience... whatever school you choose, enjoy it!</p>
<p>I believe UCSD has the top spot in both the NRC and US News rankings for Neuroscience.</p>
<p>For undergrad neuroscience, Yale. MIT, Yale and Caltech generally have the nation's strongest undergraduate science programs.</p>
<p>Not Brown, even though they like to say they have a good program. And Columbia's new neuroscience center gets a lot of media attention, but won't be built for a long time.</p>
<p>Plus the Columbia neuro center is going to be used mostly by grad students i bet. I don't see Undergrads being able to do everything there.
I was at colgate and someone there was talking to me about neuroscience research she's done with the agressive behavior of crawfish and the like.
I'm going to Wesleyan and I plan to major in neuroscience and econ, the kicker is that wes has a tuition free 5th year to get a masters in neuro. It's pretty damn kickass :-)</p>
<p>MIT has several very very strong undergraduate neuroscience programs.</p>
