<p>Hello Judy,</p>
<p>We have a Neuroscience concentration (12 cr hrs) - In chemistry we allow a Medicinal Chemistry course (focus on drug design for brain disorders) and a Recent Advances in Biochemistry course(students read the current literature with a focus on brain biochem).
In Biology, the students can take a course in Animal Behavior as well as Neurophysiology. In Psychology, they can take Advanced Psychobiology as well as Perceptual and Cognitive Processes. Each of these courses is 3 credit hours. The Psych courses also
have labs (1 credit each).</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>
<div><br>

<div>Thanks,</div>
