NOTES:

1. Topics classes, directed research, internships, independent study, and Civitas courses that have a neuroscience emphasis, regardless of department, may count as electives by petition.
2. Some courses listed in the electives may have unlisted prerequisites that must be satisfied before a student can enroll in the course.
3. The elective list will be expanded as new relevant courses across campus are developed, including in departments not listed here.
4. Depending on the goals of the students, this curriculum may need to be supplemented with additional coursework in statistics, computer science, or other areas. For instance, a student heading to a graduate program in neurobiology may want additional coursework in molecular biology and other techniques that are currently used in the modern laboratory. These courses should be selected in consultation with a student’s adviser.
