Students majoring in neuroscience will complete a 120 credit-hour curriculum (plus a required 2-credit class in health). They will learn fundamental principles and up-to-date advances in the field of neuroscience. The program will build on a strong foundation of required courses in the physical sciences and mathematics (chemistry, computer science, calculus, statistics and physics) in order to prepare students with the analytical skills needed to address the complexity of problems in neuroscience. The program will emphasize technological methods and innovations that have been critical, as well as ones needed to continue progress in neuroscience.

To complete the research option for Neuroscience, the student must:

• Complete ten units of supervised research, over a period of preferably three but at least two terms.
• Research may be for either pay or credit [typically 4698 or 4699]* - for BS in Neuroscience, this will be NEUR 4699.
• At least six credit hours must be on the same research project, broadly defined.
• Write an undergraduate thesis or other substantial, written report showing results of the research.
