Required Courses
All Neuroscience majors will be required to complete a total of 27 hours of courses across the disciplines of the field (Psychology, Biology, Chemistry). There are 12 hours of required courses for all majors, including
Neuroscience/Psychology Electives
Majors are also required to take 9 hours of elective Neuroscience specific courses. Students must take 2 courses from List 1 (PSYC and/or PSYC/NSCI with at least 1 course at or above the 4000-level) and 1 course from List 2 (Biology or Chemistry). These courses include:
List 1
Pick 2 (At least 1 course must be 4020, 4050 or 4085):
Quantitative Courses
Students must take 6 hours of Quantitative courses by completing any two of the following courses:
Biology and Chemistry Double Concentration Courses
In order to satisfy pre-requisite requirements in Biology and Chemistry, 12 hours of course work in each area must be completed, which will count as a Double Concentration:
Notes
+Courses marked (PM) are required for students wishing to fulfill pre-medical requirements for professional health programs
Special Pre-medicine Note: Both General Physics I, plus Lab (PHYS 2010 /PHYS 2010L ) and General Physics II, plus Lab (PHYS 2020 /PHYS 2020L ) are required for admittance to medical school.
All Neuroscience majors will need to successfully complete a neuroscience research project, including a relevant literature review, before graduation (NSCI 4999 ). The research project will incorporate both a written paper and an oral presentation, both to be rated by a Psychology Department rubric.
