About Neuroscience in University of Maryland

This is the Neuroscience major’s second year, and the first in which we have been able to be together as a community on campus. Although the NEUR major is relatively new, University of Maryland has a long, strong history of neuroscience. We are proud to now have a proper mechanism to share it with all of our undergraduates. 

Our goal in developing this program was to give students a great and versatile neuroscience background. But, we also hope that this program builds a form of intellectual community to nourish the minds of future neuroscientists and to help them find their place in the world. It is amazing to see how much we have already accomplished, and I am eager to see the wonderful things our students, faculty, and staff will continue to do. Even a pandemic can’t hold us back.
