  Optional Concentration-Neuroscience

  The Neuroscience concentration focuses on the scientific investigation of behavior, neurological and mental processes as well as provides students with basic scientific skills training. A concentration in neuroscience will offer students an opportunity to learn about theory and research on the brain and nervous system from a number of perspectives. Students will come to understand how developments in biology, psychology, chemistry and related fields alter knowledge and research techniques in the other fields. This cross-disciplinary concentration is not housed within a single department but, rather, is directed and taught primarily by faculty in the departments of Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry and Psychology.

  Choose 1 of the following

  • BIO 3800 Principles of Neurophysiology (3 credits)
  • PYC 3070 Psychobiology (3 credits)

  Choose 1 of the following

  • BIO 2840 Animal Behavior (3 credits)
  • BIO 3800 Principles of Neurophysiology (3 credits)
  • CHM 4740 Recent Advances in Chemistry and Biochemistry (3 credits)
  • CHM 4600 Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery

  Choose 2 of the following (at least one course must be PYC)

  • PYC 4090 Perceptual and Cognitive Processes (3 credits)
  • BIO 2840 Animal Behavior (3 credits)
  • BIO 3800 Principles of Neurophysiology (3 credits)
  • BIO 4350 Fundamentals of Pharmacology (3 credits)
  • CHM 4600 Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery (3 credits)
  • CHM 4740 Recent Advances in Chemistry and Biochemistry (3 credits)
  • PYC 2010 Research Methods II (3 credits)

  Optional Concentration-BS Chemistry Research

  The Research Concentration within the B.S. Chemistry major is designed for students who are interested in pursuing further research in graduate school or careers in industry, medicine, and science education. A research concentration will offer students an opportunity to read and explore scientific literature, develop hypotheses, design and implement experiments, collect and analyze data and communicate their findings. The Research Concentration involves both course-based research experiences and mentored laboratory research experiences. Students will gain experience problem solving by using the scientific method.

  The concentration is a minimum of 9 credits and must include six credit hours from courses 3000+ level or higher.

  Inquiry-based laboratory or course-based undergraduate research experience (at least 1 credit)

  • BIO 1040 – Fundamentals of Bioinformatics (3 credits)
