Combining a Behavioral Neuroscience (BNS) degree with advanced study in areas such as a master’s in Health Sciences (MHS) significantly enhances your appeal to employers across academic, clinical, and industry settings. As you develop the ability to bridge scientific insight with practical applications, you expand your career opportunities. This interdisciplinary approach opens doors to emerging fields and increases your long-term professional impact and earning potential.
Courses taken to fulfill the undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Neuroscience are identical to those listed in the BS in Behavioral Neuroscience curriculum. Courses to satisfy the graduate Master of Health Science in Biomedical Sciences are identical to those listed in the MHS in Biomedical Sciences curriculum. The dual 4+1 program includes 34–39 credits of graduate-level coursework, with a recommended 9–12 credits completed during the undergraduate portion of the student’s academic career.
Students interested in applying to the Dual-Degree BS/MHS in Biomedical Sciences (4+1) with concentrations in Biomedical Sciences or Microbiology must meet with their academic adviser and the program contact and apply to the graduate program (+1 year) by March 30 of their third year using this application form. A cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.00 is preferred.
