Neuroscience Co-Major

For information, contact the Department of Biology, 212 Pearson Hall, 513-529-3100 or the Department of Psychology, 100 Psychology building, 513-529-2400; this co-major is offered cooperatively.

The inter-departmental Neuroscience Co-major offers students the opportunity to pursue an in-depth exploration of the biology of individual nerve cells; the organization of nerve cells into a functional nervous system; and the role of the nervous system in behavior and cognition. The co-major is multidisciplinary, including coursework in biology, psychology, chemistry and statistics. It provides a basic framework for students planning advanced work at the graduate level.  Students in the co-major must also be enrolled in, and complete, a primary major; the co-major cannot be taken as a stand-alone major. Upon graduation, students are awarded the degree of their primary major; there is no specific degree designation for the co-major.
