Course Outcomes

Knowledge of behavioral neuroscience

Students will demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the basic theories, concepts, and applications of behavioral neuroscience. This includes the relationship between the brain, hormones, neurotransmitters and behavior, as well as the interplay between genes and the environment and how they modify the brain and ultimately behavior.

Integration of personal values

Students will improve their ability to integrate personal values and belief systems with the principles of psychology and the biological bases of behavior.

Synthesis and communication

Students will synthesize and evaluate theories and concepts of behavioral neuroscience and communicate their ideas to an audience. Students demonstrate this through written and/or oral assignments.
