At Lawrence, students approach the study of neuroscience through a deliberately interdisciplinary program.
In a quest to understand the brain and nervous system—and how they respond to stimuli or thoughts, from the level of molecules to behaviors—Lawrence offers neuroscience through an intensive interdisciplinary approach that draws on the strengths of our biology, chemistry, and psychology programs.

Conduct deeper neuroscience research
Our Lawrence University Research Fellowships offer an intensive 10-week summer research experience in our labs with our professors—you will develop deep and relevant skills and perspectives that will suit you well in your career (and you’ll receive a $3800 stipend along with free summer housing.)
Enter a rapidly growing field
Enter this growing field with broadly expanding applications to medicine, personal performance, technology, psychology—at the undergraduate level, something offered by only a small percentage of American colleges.
Explore with your classmates outside of the classroom
Join your fellow neuroscience classmates in the student-founded club, “NeuroLawrence,” to engage with current neuroscience topics of your choosing.
Build a strong neuroscience foundation for your own research
Interested in neurotransmitter systems? Brain evolution? Neural development? The neurological impacts of mindfulness and meditation? All of the above? Through Topics in Neuroscience, you can study each of them (and more) individually for a 10-week term.
Comparative Physiology
Topics in Neuroscience
Principles of Chemistry
Psychopharmacology and Behavior
Brain and Behavior I
Clinical and Affective Neuroscience
You will work closely with neuroscience program faculty to develop your Senior Experience from either a psychology senior capstone, biology senior capstone, or a neuroscience independent study. (More about Neuroscience Senior Experience available in the Course Catalog.)
