Core and Upper Level Courses | Neuroscience

Declared Neuroscience majors can choose from these upper-level courses, considering their focus area, to complete their degree. Lower-level neuroscience courses may not be required for the major, and are not listed on this page.

Please check the BS requirements page to get a full list of required or optional courses, or consult the online course catalogue for complete course information. Additional course registration information can be found on the Student Information System website.

Neuroscience Core Courses (Required of All Majors)

Core courses generally run the same times every semester, so they are not included in the table below.

050.203 Neuroscience: Cognitive: Bonner, Spring
080.305 Neuroscience: Cellular and Systems I, Zhao/Fetsch/Hendry, Fall
080.306 Neuroscience: Cellular and Systems II, Zhao/Fetsch/Hendry, Spring
080.250 Neuroscience Lab, Trageser/Sterbing-D’Angelo/Ross, Fall and Spring

Please note that the list of upper levels and their POS tag may change each semester.
