Completion of the Neuroscience concentration provides students with both knowledge and practical experience in the neuroscience field at an advanced level. In the evolving and growing field of neuroscience, students who complete the IB-N concentration will have the appropriate training to succeed both within and outside of academia. The Neuroscience curriculum focuses strongly on knowledge-based and experimental-based neuroscience courses and includes training in scientific methodologies. IB-N faculty are active experts in their respective neuroscience fields and will support development of the students who can focus on a number of research areas, including neuronal circuitry, learning and memory, neurodegeneration, drug discover, stress neurobiology, neurogenetics and/or neurodevelopment.
The neuroscience concentration falls under the umbrella of the Integrative Biology major and all students accepted to the concentration are subject to all Integrative Biology policies and regulations as well as additional regulations that are specific to this concentration. See below for details of degree requirements over and above those specified for IB proper. For additional information regarding criteria which must be met by students participating in the neuroscience concentration, see the program guidelines document with the Forms and Policies section of this website.
Prerequisites
Students who enter the IB-N concentration with no prior neuroscience coursework must take two of the following five courses. Completion of these courses may be used toward fulfillment of the 9-credit Integrative Biology elective requirement.
