[FUN_Mail] Need a little bit of data...

[Jeffrey Smith via FUN_Mail]

Hi folks,

Thanks for all the information! Raddy reminded me of his paper in JUNE which has the info (circ 2008) in the supplementary info. Following his lead, I went to IPEDs and am trying to put a current version of his spreadsheet together. The primary issue is that (just like the authors point out) there is no one code for that covers all of the different types of neuroscience degrees (Neuroscience, neurobiology, behavioral neuroscience, biopsychology...etc, etc, etc). So working on seeing if I can identify as many indicators of a "neuroscience" major as possible. 

Once I have it completed, I will pass it along! 

Thanks again
Jeff

Hi folks,

If you have a quick moment, could you please help me out. We are working on a proposal for a Neuroscience Major at SVSU and the question of rate of growth came up. For those that have established majors could you provide an estimate of how many declared majors you had your 1, 2, 3, 4, 5+, and current years. I would just like to get a ballpark rate of growth so we can add that to our planning documents/estimate for new costs/lines, etc. 

I will create a summary and share that with the list for all to use as well!

You can just reply to the list or to me directly at jsmith12 at svsu.edu

Thanks in advance!

Jeff
