SUMMARY

NYU and the University of Pittsburgh are highly recommended for their strong departments in neuroscience, mathematics, and physics. Dartmouth College also has a notable neuroscience program, although its mathematics and physics offerings are less certain. The discussion highlights the challenge of finding undergraduate neuroscience programs and the potential for graduate courses to supplement a Bachelor of Science degree.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of undergraduate neuroscience programs
  • Familiarity with Ivy League institutions
  • Knowledge of interdisciplinary studies in mathematics and physics
  • Awareness of graduate school course policies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research undergraduate neuroscience programs at NYU and the University of Pittsburgh
  • Investigate Dartmouth College's neuroscience, mathematics, and physics departments
  • Explore graduate school policies regarding course enrollment for undergraduates
  • Look into interdisciplinary programs that combine neuroscience, math, and physics
USEFUL FOR

Prospective college students interested in pursuing degrees in neuroscience, mathematics, and physics, as well as academic advisors and educators guiding students in their college selection process.

Can anyone recommend a college with a good department in each of those fields? Neuroscience in undergrad is hard to find. I don't know if graduate schools will let you take their courses and make a BS degree out of it...

The two schools that come to mind with good departments in all three are NYU and U of Pitt.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Chris

I know dartmouth is supposed to have a really good neuroscience deparment, or group, or whatever level of organization neuroscience falls under (my friend is going there). I don't know about their math and physics programs, but they can't be too shabby, since it is ivy league
 
I'll check it out, thanks.

Any others?
