Notes:
-It is the student’s responsibility to determine whether pre-requisites are
needed for any courses
-Only PSYC 397 is taken pass/fail
-Courses designated as Type A or Type B may be split across those elective
requirements (see advisor for clarification and degree audit exception)
-BIOL 451 (formerly BIOL 480S) can only count toward the Integrative
Neuroscience major once (2007 Bulletin).
-& Indicates course can also fulfill the Lab requirement.
