Biopsychology, Concentration

As an interdisciplinary subject, biopsychology elucidates the connections between the organization of the nervous system and behavior that enable us to see how individuals engage the world. The concentration addresses the fields of psychology and biology as complementary disciplines that are both enhanced when combined.
