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.
