Matt Wittstein, associate professor of exercise science, was interviewed by the Greensboro News & Record about the new neuroscience major.
The Greensboro News & Record recently interviewed Matt Wittstein, associate professor of exercise science, about Elon University’s new neuroscience major.
The major will launch in fall 2025 and will build off the success of Elon’s neuroscience minor, aligning with the Boldly Elon strategic plan commitment to STEM education. The new program will offer three options: a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Science with a specialization in exercise neuroscience.
“This is something that we think will set us apart from other neuroscience programs,” Wittstein told the News & Record. “Exercise neuroscience isn’t a huge major across the country, but it’s definitely a space where we have a strong exercise science program where we think a lot about health and wellness.”
More information about the new major will be available in summer 2025.
