Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience with Specialization in Computational Neuroscience

Program Overview

Neuroscience is a cross-disciplinary major centered on studying the brain and the nervous system. It combines many traditional fields of study, including biology, psychology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, engineering, mathematics, and computer science.

The brain is perhaps the most remarkable phenomenon in the biological universe, controlling who we are and all that we do—from the regulation of our every function to the execution of complex thoughts and emotions.

Because understanding the brain impacts every aspect of our lives, neurobiologists contribute to a wide variety of career fields.

Computational Neuroscience
Computational neuroscience links the information processing features of the brain and nervous system with the information processing systems of computer hardware and software.

WSU's computational neuroscience program is an interdisciplinary offering that allows students to study both neurobiology and computer science. The program emphasizes the organism and the machine as information processing entities. The program is designed to allow students to acquire a breadth of knowledge in computational subjects (math, bioengineering, computer science, and electrical engineering), or to focus on either software design (computer science) or hardware aspects of computation (computer engineering).

Work Permit

PGWP

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.

It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.

A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):

Pre-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment provided to F-1 students before completion of their course of study.
Post-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment available to F-1 students after completing their course of study.
24 Month STEM Extension: Students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses can a 24-month extension after their initial Post-Completion OPT authorization.
