Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I choose between the B.A. or B.S.?
- This is a personal choice, and there is not an option that is inherently ‘better’ than the other. The B.A. has fewer co-requisite requirements, and an additional course in Neuroscience and the Humanities. The B.S. has more co-requirements that fall within Division V and an additional research requirement. Both tracks will provide an excellent cross-disciplinary neuroscience education.
- Will there be study abroad opportunities?
- Yes! We have an ongoing collaboration with the Neuroscience Institute of the University of Salamanca. There will be other study abroad opportunities, as well. Please check with the Center for Global Programs & Studies for current programs.
- Will I be able to minor in neuroscience?
- Unfortunately, we are sunsetting the neuroscience minor.
- Do I need to have senior standing to take NEU 389?
- Yes, NEU 389 is for students with senior standing. Students should have a breadth and depth of neuroscience experience before entering into this seminar.
- I’m pre-health / pre-med. Can I major in neuroscience?
- Absolutely. The neuroscience major is a great pre-health major. Please see our suggested pathway through the major, and check your pre-health requirements here.
- Who should I contact if I still have questions?
- Please reach out to the Program Director, Dr. Katy Lack () or the Program Associate Director, Dr. Melissa Maffeo () with any questions.
