The program in neuroscience provides an interdisciplinary knowledge base in the field of neuroscience. Students in the program examine the nervous system and its regulation of behavior through multiple experimental approaches ranging from molecular biology to behavioral systems. The program requires coursework in the biology and psychology departments along with a neuroscience seminar and neuroscience research project typically completed during a student's junior and senior years.
The program is not a major but rather a concentration of courses in the biology and psychology departments coupled with research seminars and hands on experimental training. Students who fulfill the program requirements will receive a letter and a note on the transcript recognizing completion of the program.
