Requirements for the Major in Neuroscience

The major consists of thirteen courses, including ten core courses and three electives from the lists to follow. Advanced placement credits may not be used to fulfill any of the course requirements for the major. Independent study in neuroscience may be used to fulfill one of the three elective credits. If students place out of Psychology 101 or Biology 109, thirteen courses related to neuroscience must still be completed.
