Regulations

Required courses are to be taken in the sequence stated.

The four electives are chosen from a list annually reviewed and approved by the Neuroscience Advisory Committee (one class must be from outside student's major and one - and only one - must be independent study/research).

No more than two courses in the concentration may also be counted toward the major. A grade of "C" or higher is required in all courses applied toward the concentration.

Application Procedures
The Neuroscience Concentration is administrated by the Neuroscience Advisory Committee. The faculty liaison is Dr. Julio Ramirez. Students shall submit a written proposal to the Advisory Committee by the last day of the Spring Semester of the sophomore year. The proposal should specify the courses that will be used to satisfy the concentration requirements. If any of the courses are to be independent studies, research courses, or seminars, the student must provide the Advisory Committee with a complete description of that course before the semester of enrollment. Certification of completion of all requirements for the concentration is made by the Registrar upon recommendation of the Neuroscience Advisory Committee.
