Behavioral Neuroscience Major
The interdisciplinary major in behavioral neuroscience is intended to fill the needs of the students seeking understanding of the biological bases of behavior. It guides the student toward investigation of physiological, structural, and developmental foundations of animal behavior using the techniques of several sub-disciplines of psychology, biology, and chemistry.
Requirements
The major consists of fourteen courses (twelve core courses and one course chosen from each of two related areas). A score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Psychology Examination or its equivalent may be substituted for PSY 100. This exception requires the student to choose an additional laboratory course for the major. Independent research, either as Individual Study or Honors Study, is strongly recommended.
