Degree Requirements
Neuroscience Concentration
Neuroscience Concentration requires students to complete the ten 4-credit courses listed below, and the zero-credit NEUR 401 - Neuroscience Assessment.
Four Foundational Courses
May be taken in any order, beginning as early as the first semester at 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########. Foundational courses in Biology and Psychology serve as prerequisites for the 200 and 300-level Biology and Psychology courses required of Neuroscience concentrators.
Code | Title | |
---|---|---|
BIOL 210 | Molecular Biology and Unicellular Life | |
CS 111 | Discovering Computer Science: Scientific Data and Dynamics | |
or DA 101 | Introduction to Data Analytics | |
or CS 109 | Discovering Computer Science | |
or CS 110 | Discovering Computer Science: Digital Media and Games | |
or CS 112 | Discovering Computer Science: Markets, Polls, and Social Networks | |
PHIL 210 | Philosophy of Science | |
or PHIL 280 | Philosophy of Mind | |
PSYC 100 | Introduction to Psychology |
Two Intermediate Courses in Biology and Psychology
These courses have prerequisites and are, in turn, prerequisites for the advanced courses.
BIOL 220 - Multicellular Life (Prerequisite for BIOL 334 and BIOL 349)
PSYC 200 - Research Methods and Statistics (Prerequisite for PSYC 351 and prerequisite for any of the following: PSYC 311, PSYC 331, PSYC 341)
Three Advanced Courses in Biology and Psychology
These courses may be taken in any order, except that PSYC 350 - Biological Psychology and PSYC 351 - Research in Biological Psychology must be taken concurrently.
Code | Title | |
---|---|---|
Biology: | ||
BIOL 349 | Neurophysiology | |
or BIOL 334 | Comparative Physiology: Human and non-human animals | |
Psychology: | ||
PSYC 350 | Biological Psychology | |
PSYC 351 | Research in Biological Psychology (In place of PSYC 351, students may take one of the following course pairings: PSYC 310 & PSYC 311, PSYC 330 & PSYC 331, PSYC 340 & PSYC 341. Note that PSYC 350 is still required, and thus this substitution increases the total number of courses for the concentration by one.) |
Neuroscience Senior Capstone Seminar
This course must be taken in the spring of the senior year. NEUR 412 - Neuroscience Senior Capstone Seminar The prerequisites for NEUR 412 include the advanced biology and psychology courses.
Neuroscience Assessment
Satisfactory completion of NEUR 401 - Neuroscience Assessment is required of all senior Neuroscience concentrators during the final weeks of NEUR 412 - Neuroscience Senior Capstone Seminar. NEUR 401 - Neuroscience Assessment is a zero credit course.
