Core Curriculum

In addition to the courses required for this program listed above, the student must also fulfill the requirements of the University Core Curriculum for this program.

Some of these courses may be satisfied by courses in your program.  Please review your Degree Evaluation or consult your academic advisor for more information.

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 learn how developments in biology, psychology, chemistry and related fields alter knowledge regarding brain structure and function. 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.

The concentration is a minimum of 12 credit hours, a minimum of three credit hours in PYC, and six credit hours from 3000+ level or higher.

Choose 1 of the following

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

Choose 1 of the following (if not used above)

• BIO 2840 Animal Behavior (3 credits)
• BIO 3800 Principles of Neurophysiology (3 credits)
• CHM 4600 Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery (3 credits)
• CHM 4900 Recent Advances in Chemistry and Biochemistry (3 credits)

Choose 2 of the following (if not used above and at least one course must be PYC)

• BIO 2840 Animal Behavior (3 credits)
• BIO 3800 Principles of Neurophysiology (3 credits)
• BIO 4350  Fundamentals of Pharmacology (3 credits)

The Research concentration within the BS Biochemistry 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 nine credits and must include six credit hours from courses 3000+ level or higher.
