The
Concentration
Albion’s neuroscience concentration was designed for students who are interested in the neural underpinnings of behavior and cognition. The core courses, Neuroscience I and Neuroscience II, provide students with a multi-disciplinary, multi-divisional introduction to the study of the mind/brain that spans all levels of current neuroscientific research. The four electives allow students to pursue lines of inquiry they find especially attractive in the core courses, and a senior thesis or internship allows them the choice of a theoretical or practical test of their developing skills. This approach to neuroscience provides Albion students with the knowledge, insight and research skills necessary for success in graduate study or careers in the life sciences.
1. Three courses required of all students in the program:
2. Four of the following courses, selected from at least two different departments:
3. A senior thesis or internship. (See also p. 102.) Admission—The neuroscience concentration is open to
all students, regardless of academic major. However, because many of the
courses have prerequisites, students who elect the neuroscience
concentration are typically majors in biology, chemistry or psychology.
Students must be accepted into the program, and thus should contact one of
the faculty members listed below for application information. Students are
advised to apply by the end of their sophomore year.
