The departments of Biology and Psychology offer an interdisciplinary concentration in neuroscience. The concentration consists of 12 courses, which must include:
To fulfill the Social, Structural, and Institutional Hierarchies requirement in Neuroscience, concentrators must take two courses, which may concurrently fulfill other concentration requirements:
-Psychology 101: Introduction to Psychology. Students who place out of Psychology 101 through AP or IB must replace the course with any SSIH-designated Psychology course to fulfill the requirement.
-Biology 100: Introduction to Biology.
* Students who place out of Biology 100 through AP or IB must must replace the course with any SSIH-designated Biology course to fulfill the requirement.
*Students who place out of both Biology and Psychology introductory courses through AP must take an additional SSIH-designated Biology course or any SSIH-designated Psychology course to fulfill the requirement.
Either Biology 100 or PSYCH-101 (not both) may fulfill Neuroscience concentration requirements if taken on a credit/no credit basis. No other courses taken on a credit/no credit basis will fulfill Neuroscience concentration requirements.
Program honors recognize the distinguished achievement of students who excel in their coursework in the concentration, including the Senior Project. Students considering graduate work in neuroscience should consult with members of the Neuroscience Program Committee to determine additional courses that might be helpful.
