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.

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

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.
