<p><font size="+1"> At Oberlin College we have a Neuroscience
Department so are able to offer an introductory neuro course as
well as upper level courses in Neuroanatomy, Neurophysiology,
Neuroendocrinology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Neurotoxicology,
Sensory Neuroscience, Neuropharmacology, and Behavioral
Neuroscience. We have also sometimes offered Developmental
Neuroscience and Neuroimmunology. </font><font size="+1">We
also have senior seminars that may be Neurobiology of Disease or
other topics. </font><font size="+1">The only elective outside
the department that we accept as an upper level neuro class is
Abnormal Psychology (which is taught with a strong neuro
perspective). <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">We don't have electives from other departments.
However, we require all students to take some cognates: Introductory
Biology, Introductory Chemisty, and Molecular Biology or Organic
Chemistry.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">If we had courses in Nerve Cell Mechanisms and
Behavior, Neurobiology of Disease, Animal Behavior,
Endocrinology, Behavioral Endocrinology, and perhaps Sex,
Evolution and Biology we might let one of them count as an
elective. The decision would be made after the department
faculty reviewed the syllabus to determine if it had a strong
neuro component.</font></p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all -
<div>We are trying to update our list of neuroscience electives
for our interdisciplinary program. The curriculum committee is
requesting clarification about why we have selected these
specific courses and excluded others. The original list of
electives was based on what was offered by other programs.
Since they have asked for a response from me by this <b><u>Wed
night 3/6</u> </b>I'm hoping you all can help save me the
time of searching scores of web pages. Right now we are just
looking at the biology electives. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Below is the list that includes (a) courses already
approved, (b) courses we would like to add, and (c) courses
that the committee has suggested.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have a neuroscience degree program, please let me
know which ones you include as electives in your program and
which ones are available at your institution but not included
as electives, and why not. </div>

<div>I am working to educate the curriculum committee about
Neuroscience - I was asked what Molecular Biology has to do
with Neuroscience - so any other comments are welcome and
would be greatly appreciated. How have you made decisions
about which electives to include? Do you look at learning
objectives? Are there any courses that someone has requested
be added but were decided to be not appropriate for the
major and, if so, why? Some have suggested including all
biology courses, including Plants and Fungi. What criteria
would you use to include or exclude a course as a neuro
elective?</div>
