The
bachelor of science major in neuroscience is a prototypical interdisciplinary
program consisting principally of biology and psychology courses.
Courses that contribute to meeting the requirements of this major
are all listed in biology and psychology departmental listings.
In addition to structured coursework, majors are strongly urged
to take independent research courses with neuroscience faculty (NEUR
470, BIOL 401 and/or PSYC 490). The neuroscience major is especially
suited for students interested in careers in medicine or research.
Learning Outcomes
Upon
completion of the baccalaureate degree, students in neuroscience
are expected to:
-
Understand the scientific process and the design and implementation
of experiments;
-
Evaluate
evidence and differentiate between scientific fact and unscientific
arguments;
-
Present
scientific information in oral and written formats appropriate
to scientific and nonscientific audiences;
-
Understand
the basic principles of neuroscience, behavior and the integration
of the two fields;
-
Read
and comprehend primary research literature of the biological
sciences;
-
Be
prepared for post-baccalaureate studies in psychology, biology,
neuroscience or medical school, or for entering the private
sector in areas related to their training.

*Any combination
of the following courses (17 hours)
- BIOL 401**,
418, 419, 420, 440, 490**
- NEUR 450,
470
- PSYC 328,
331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 440**, 490**
*Most of these
courses have prerequisite(s) associated with them (consent of instructor
is often sufficient). See course descriptions for necessary prerequisites.
The number of additional credit hours a student might need could
range from 0 to 22.
**Must have
approval of neuroscience program to count toward minor.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Courses that are used to satisfy requirements for a major or another
minor cannot also be used to satisfy the requirements of the Neuroscience
minor. For example, a psychology major that is using PSYC 333 to
meet the requirements of their Psychology major cannot use the same
course in meeting the requirements of their Neuroscience minor.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
No more than two courses that are used to satisfy Group III requirements
can be used to satisfy the minor requirements.
