Requirements for the Concentration

The neuroscience concentration consists of six courses: an introductory neuroscience course (Neuroscience 234), four core elective courses, and a capstone seminar. Neuroscience 234, Introduction to Neuroscience, provides a foundation and overview of the important and extensive ways in which biological and psychological processes are involved in the regulation and maintenance of behavior. The four core elective courses are selected from appropriate offerings in psychology (one 200 level course), biology (one 200 level course), any of the departments in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (one 300 level course), and from neuroscience-related offerings from an area outside the Natural Sciences (one course). The final course for the concentration is a capstone seminar. The prerequisite for this class is the completion of the other requirements in the neuroscience concentration. Students are strongly encouraged to take Psychology 238, Biopsychology, as well.
