Option A (General Track; 12-13 credits)
This area of concentration is for students who, upon graduation, seek
immediate employment or plan to attend professional schools in
health-related fields. In addition to the required core courses,
students must take the following courses:
1. Two of the following courses:
01:146:445 Advanced Neurobiology I (4)
01:146:470 Advanced Cell Biology (3)
01:146:472 Advanced Developmental Biology (3)
2. Two elective courses at the 300-400
level in the life sciences area, equaling 6 or more credits. One course must have an included or an
associated lab component, or be a 3-credit stand-alone lab course. With the approval of a Department of Cell Biology
and Neuroscience adviser, two
semesters of Research in Cell Biology and Neuroscience, minimum 3 credits per
semester, carried out under the direction of the same faculty member, may be
used as one of the electives and fulfill the lab requirement. These electives
must be selected in consultation with a faculty adviser. Option B (Honors Research Track; 18-19 credits)
This area of concentration is for students who, upon graduation, plan
to attend graduate school in cell biology or neuroscience or
professional schools in health-related fields. A student must qualify
for admission into the honors research track. See the departmental honors program page in this catalog for student qualifications. In addition to the required core
courses, students must complete the following courses:
1. Two of the following courses:
01:146:445 Advanced Neurobiology I (4)
01:146:470 Advanced Cell Biology (3)
01:146:472 Advanced Developmental Biology (3)
2. One of the following courses:
01:146:446 Advanced Neurobiology Laboratory I (3)
01:146:448 Advanced Neurobiology Laboratory II (3)
01:146:471 Advanced Cell Biology Laboratory (3)
3. 01:146:405 Honors Seminar (3)
4. 01:146:408-409 Honors Research (3,3)*
