Neuroscience Field Group
At Pitzer College, Field Groups (similar to a discipline or department) organize major requirements and courses.
Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary program of 16 courses designed to provide students with an appreciation of diverse approaches to understanding the function of nervous systems, as well as the ability to conduct investigations within a particular subfield of interest.
Faculty Across the 5Cs
Faculty from Claremont McKenna College, Pitzer College, Scripps College, and the W.M. Keck Science Department offer courses in neuroscience, biology, psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy, all of which are components of the interdisciplinary neuroscience major.
