Special information regarding elective hours in neuroscience. Students planning on graduate study or medical school are strongly encouraged to
obtain research experience. Several of the elective courses are research- oriented, but the principal course is 4V96 Special Topics, a variable credit
course usually taken for three semester hours of credit twice. Students desiring to work with a professor should be aware that each faculty member
has his/her own criteria for admitting students into the laboratory and for awarding academic credit. Most of the faculty require that you agree to work
in the laboratory for three semesters—once as a volunteer and then twice for academic credit. As opportunities to work in a given lab are limited,
students should make arrangements with a professor at the beginning of the junior year. See the Neuroscience Advisor for details about 4V96 and
other elective courses.
− A grade of "C" or better in psychology and/or neuroscience courses used for the major.
− Check your degree audit often through Bearweb to ensure that you are making timely progress toward your degree.
Notes about major requirements:
− Pre-major: All students are admitted as a Pre-NSC major. Students may apply to be admitted into the NSC major when they have
achieved certain requirements. Please see the catalog for those requirements.
S e n i o r Y e a r
A
ll students must graduate with a minimum of 124 hours,
36 of which must be at the 3000/4000 level.
− Important Note:
A
student who earns a D or F in a PSY or NSC course may repeat the course. However, a student earning a second D or F in the
same, or in a subsequent PSY or NSC course will not be eligible to continue in the Psychology or Neuroscience major. The student may, however,
be eligible to continue studies in another major in the University. Students who believe they have individual circumstances warranting an exception to
these grade minimums and failure policies may appeal to the department chair.
Neuroscience electives: choose two from NSC 3311, 3320, 3323, 3370, either 4317 or 4312, 4324, or 4V96.
