If your interests lie in the area of human and animal behavior, you will find the Psychology/Biology program to be a fascinating look at a highly-complex area of study. Psychobiology is the exploration of the biological basis of behavior and cognition. The B.S. in Interdisciplinary Psychology/ Biology program at Southampton Graduate Campus emphasizes three areas, reflecting the background and research interests of our full-time faculty: human neurophysiology; comparative studies of human and non-human behavior; and the neurobiology of human development.

Courses cover such diverse topics as the structure and function of the mammalian nervous system; mind-body interactions; the neurobiology of learning and behavior; and sensory processes. You'll work with faculty on research projects on neurobehavioral development in neonate rats; applied analysis of human brain and behavior disorders; and observations of free-ranging dolphins and seals. You'll have access on campus to modern human and animal laboratories that contain state-of-the-art computerized behavioral and neurophysiological instrumentation found in major medical and neuroscience research facilities.
