<p>Hi! I am planning in studying abroad, preferently Canada or the USA. I am really passionate about studying Neurosciene, but as you may know this is almost a new independent branch of science so not most of the universities offer it as a mayor, but as a minor. </p>
<p>In the case I am not able to find Neuroscience as a mayor in the universities I desire, do you recommend studying a Bsc in Psychology or Human Biology?
Could you describe the differences between these, please?</p>
<p>My brother’s girlfriend is majoring in Neuroscience at a relatively small university in Nashville, Tennessee, called Belmont. I am not sure what universities you desire, but I figure it must be fairly popular since it is being offered at such a relatively small school. If it isn’t, you might want to look into Belmont!</p>
<p>In the USA I did find the major, I am probably applying to the University of Texas at Dallas.
The problem is in Canada, for example I like the University in Toronto but they only offer Human Biology or Psuchology as majors, and then Neuroscience as a minor</p>
<p>Neuroscience programs are slowly popping up at many small LACs and larger universities across the US. However, what you want is a school that has a lot to offer - so although a small private college might have the major, do they have the funding and equipment to really deliver a competitive education to meet your goals and expectations? My LAC that I graduated from just began a program in neuro, and although it was a great school for liberal arts studies, I would not attend for the hard sciences.</p>
<p>Do you plan to pursue graduate study? What interests you about neuroscience? Psychology will focus on a broad range of subjects, including social, developmental, counseling, and clinical psychology, and will include some cognitive and biological courses as well, and you could always minor in biology. Human biology will have a broad range of courses in the biological - and not so much the social/psychological - aspects, which is why I ask where you interests lie. If you begin to consider graduate school, then researching programs to ensure you are meeting their minimum education requirements will be more important than the title of the major you choose.</p>
