With life expectancy on the rise, the study of development and aging is crucial. Graduates who specialize in this branch of neuroscience and cognitive science can help improve the well-being of the aging population. The study of development and aging explores changes in the brain that occur over time. Undergraduates earning a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science with a Development and Aging emphasis gain interdisciplinary expertise. They focus on psychology, developmental disabilities, family studies, and the speech, hearing and language sciences. Students gain a full understanding of developmental and aging processes, examine new approaches to prevention, and explore treatments and ways to boost functioning and quality of life. They will be prepared for graduate studies or in-demand careers in policymaking or educating individuals who care for seniors or people with developmental disabilities.
