Freedom To Explore More Than One Field

At the Mellon College of Science, there are no boundaries. Students who are passionate about science but interested in art, business or psychology can choose from a range of interdisciplinary degrees and programs, or tailor their degrees to meet their personal and professional goals.

One of Ricou’s interpretive paintings was selected as cover art for an issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.
