There are four courses that are required as part of the concentration, including the capstone seminar. Only one of Biology 125 or 126 can be applied. Psychology 216 also requires completion of Psychology 217. Applicable courses are listed below:
(AP Biology does not count)
BIOL 125 Genes, Evolution, and Development
BIOL 125 Genes, Evolution, and Development: A Problem Solving Approach
BIOL 126 Energy Flow in Biological Systems
BIOL 386 Neurobiology
PSYC 216 Behavioral Neuroscience
PSYC 217 Laboratory Research Methods in Behavioral Neuroscience
Capstone:
NEUR 395 Neuroscience Capstone Seminar
Electives:
Students must take three elective courses. Among these, students must choose at least one course directly related to neuroscience and at least one that is related and relevant to the field. It is important to note that the third elective must be outside the student's major. See Neuroscience webpage to see which courses will complete which requirement.
