Major Requirements
The Neuroscience curriculum is organized into three sets of courses, namely a common core set of courses and two sets of elective courses.
Entrance into Major
Students must complete to be eligible to enter the major.
General Electives
Three courses from the following, with at least one taken from each cluster:
Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience
Senior Thesis
NEUR 498 - Senior Thesis (one semester) must be taken in the fall or spring of the senior year. During the spring semester of the junior year, students will be asked to identify several areas of interest for their senior-year research experience. Students are then assigned to faculty research supervisors and assigned to the fall or spring semester sections based upon students’ interests and the availability of resources.
Students planning honors research are required to enroll in NEUR 498 in the fall of the senior year, followed by NEUR 499 in the spring of the senior year. On occasion, students who are not pursuing honors or high honors may complete two semesters of senior research by taking NEUR 498 in the fall and in the spring.
GPA Requirement
An overall GPA of at least 2.00 is required in all courses counting toward the neuroscience major. A passing grade must be received for a course to satisfy a major requirement.
Honors and High Honors
Students interested in pursuing honors can find the additional requirements on the Neuroscience program page.
