Concentration Requirements
Students must also complete the requirements from one concentration: Behavioral/Cognitive Neuroscience; Cellular/Molecular Neuroscience; Computational Neuroscience; Integrative Neuroscience; Pre-Health. Students are limited to only declaring one concentration.
Students are advised to talk with their advisor before double majoring because some major combinations are prohibited. No more than 50% of the credits that apply to one major may be drawn from another major.
