The Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience offers a program of
study from which students can select one of two options (tracks),
depending upon particular interests and career goals: Option A (general
track) and Option B (honors research track). Normally, each student
would select a track in consultation with a departmental adviser in the
term that the major is declared. A number of core courses are required
of all students in the cell biology and neuroscience major, regardless
of the chosen option.
