The mission of the interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program at Muskingum University is to expose students to a basic core of knowledge which serves as the foundation for common seminar experiences and advanced research opportunities in neuroscience.  Through this process students will gain a complete understanding of the neurophysiologic phenomenon that serve as the basis for all behavior.

The interdisciplinary nature and research experience built into the Neuroscience Program coincides with the University’s mission to offer quality academic programs in the liberal arts and sciences.  The program focuses on developing intellectual skills such as critical thinking as a means to better understand the human condition as it is shaped by the mind.  The program prepares students to seek a wide variety of careers centered in medicine, education, and research.
