Unlocking the Mysteries of the Brain and Behavior

Neuroscience, Cognition and Behavior (NCB) at the University of San Diego emphasizes the holistic understanding of the brain and behavior from biological and psychological perspectives. The interdisciplinary curriculum provides students with a foundation for examining the interaction of cognition and behavior with neurological systems, and includes courses in psychology, biology, chemistry, physics, anthropology and philosophy.

As NCB is in the process of becoming a new department, we appreciate your patience as we build out our infrastructure and website.
