Beginning in the fall, Piedmont College will offer a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience through its school of arts and sciences. According to a release from the university, neuroscience is the study of the central nervous system and how it impacts behavior and overall health. Job growth in the neuroscience field is expected to double over the next 10 years, with neuroscience majors often moving into careers that include lab technicians, law enforcement professionals, health educators and technical writers. “While Piedmont remains grounded in liberal arts learning, we are committed to providing students with a real-world education that will help them thrive and grow in their career,” Piedmont President James F. Mellichamp said in the release. “Our neuroscience program will equip students with the skills that many employers are demanding.”
