BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES / PSYCHOLOGY
B.Sc. Honours in Behaviour, Cognition and Neuroscience
Neuroscience is a strong and growing field that strives to understand brain function at the molecular, behavioural and cognitive levels. This interdisciplinary program comprises required courses primarily from the departments of Biological Sciences and Psychology. Students also participate in bi-weekly research colloquia. In their final year, students prepare a research-based thesis in behaviour, cognition or neuroscience. Students must maintain a G.P.A. of 8.0 or higher in Biology and Psychology courses. Entry to the fourth year thesis course, 46-496, requires a psychology average of 9.0 for Behaviour, Cognition and Neuroscience majors.
Total courses:
forty.
Major requirements - Biological Sciences:
55-140, 55-141, 55-210, 55-211, 55-213, 55-258, 55-341, 55-425, 55-485; plus three additiona
l biology courses.
