Neuroscience, B.S.The bachelor of science major in neuroscience is a prototypical interdisciplinary program consisting principally of biology and psychology courses. Courses that contribute to meeting the requirements of this major are all listed in biology and psychology departmental listings. In addition to structured coursework, majors are strongly urged to take independent research courses with neuroscience faculty (NEUR 4700, BIOL 4010, and/or PSYC 4900). The neuroscience major is especially suited for students interested in careers in medicine or research. Learning OutcomesUpon completion of the baccalaureate degree, students in neuroscience are expected to:

For Graduation You Will Need:
Any substitution or waiver of courses required for your major or minor program must originate in the department/school offering the major or minor and must be approved by the College Office. To ensure a timely graduation, see a College Advisor during the semester prior to your intended graduation. Remember to complete an Application for Graduation by the end of the second week of classes during the fall semester or spring regular session, or by the end of the first week of the summer semester. For the specific dates, check your DARS. You may log onto MyBGSU to complete the online application. After the deadlines, you will need to complete an application in person in the College Office. | ||||
