<p>Which is better for a Neuroscience Major?</p>

<p>Haverford
Bucknell University
Upenn
Allegheny College
Franklin & Marshall College
Carnegie Mellon University
Lehigh University</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your help ^.^</p>

<p>Penn has a cool program called BBB (Biological Basis of Behavior), which is pretty good. I think they have neuroscience too. Are you instate for PA? If so, I would add Pitt to the list - cheap, and a really great neuroscience program.</p>

<p>If you have Penn stats, also consider Amherst.</p>

<p>btw: the “best” program really depends on your interests. Neuro programs tend to be one of three types: computer-focused (UCLA), psych-focused; or bio-focused.</p>

<p>I’m more interested in psych focus neuroscience and I need to stay in DE or PA.</p>

<p>I’d add Muhlenberg to your list. They have a rather large neuroscience for such a small school. I went there for Brain Camp, a 1-week introduction to neuroscience program. It was funded by the Sentience foundation which also funds other programs in the neuroscience program.</p>

<p>if you are instate, Pitt is the no-brainer.</p>

<p>Plug for Wash U PNP: Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology.</p>

<p>^^WashU is kinda far afield from PA & De is it not, DJ? :rolleyes:</p>

<p>For someone willing to travel, there a lot of great colleges. Boston College and BU to the north, and George Washington & Georgetown to the south. Even farther south, Duke and Emory are really strong in Psych, as is UVa.</p>

<p>btw: Carnegie Mellon has a comp sci-based program – all math/programming all the time.</p>

<p>Haha totally missed that. Interested to hear why OP needs to stay.</p>

<p>Definitely add UVA to the mix. They offer the Distinguished Majors Program for both Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, allowing you to graduate with honors and complete a senior thesis in your respective major.</p>
