OR

Mathematics Requirements

Although not required, Calculus (especially MATH 1940: Calculus for Biomedicine) is strongly recommended, and may be a prerequisite for advanced courses in neuroscience.

Supporting Neuroscience Elective Courses

In addition to the required core courses, 12 credit hours as a combination from the Block I and Block II lists below must be selected.  At least 3 credits must come from Block I and at least 3 credits must come from Block II. The remaining minimum of 6 credits can be taken from either Block I or II.

Block I Neuroscience Electives: Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience

Block II Neuroscience Electives: Integrative Behavioral Neuroscience

Advanced Neuroscience Lecture and Lab Course

Students must take one lecture course (that has not already been used to satisfy the Supporting Neuroscience Elective Courses requirement) and NEUR 4200.

Advanced Lecture

Advanced Laboratory

Advanced Writing Course

All students are required to take an advanced writing course within their major.  For the Neuroscience major this is fulfilled with the combination of PSYC 3140 and the Advanced Laboratory course (NEUR 4200).
