Old Curriculum
To elect the NSB major under the old curriculum, a student must have earned an average grade of:
- B- or better in BIOL BC1500+1501 & 1502+1503
- B- or better in CHEM BC2001 & 3230+3328
- B- or better in PSYC BC1001
Majors must choose one of two areas of concentration: Behavioral or Cellular. The behavioral concentration places greater emphasis on behavioral and systems neuroscience. The cellular concentration places greater emphasis on cellular and molecular neuroscience.
