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.
