Additional Information and Program 政策

  • The courses that count towards the major are offered by other departments and programs within the College. 学生应参阅 的Classfinder and the course offerings of the departments of 生物学化学计算机科学数学物理心理学 欲知更多资料, 包括课程描述, 教练, semesters when these courses are offered.
  • Normally up to two courses transferred from other institutions can be used toward the completion of the major.
  • The three mid-level neuroscience courses and the required advanced neuroscience course must be taken at Bowdoin.
  • Only one semester of independent study, at any level, or honors can count toward the major. Independent study is generally applied as an elective, but majors should consult their advisors before registering to confirm.
  • Students planning to graduate with honors in neuroscience must complete two semesters of advanced independent study during their senior year, in addition to other requirements.
  • Majors who earn a general credit for their AP Chemistry scores based on the department of 化学's requirements may use that general credit to fulfill the introductory 化学 requirement of the neuroscience major and do not need to take an additional course to replace it.
  • 专业的人排不出来 1101年心理学 心理学概论 must take a higher level course in 心理学 to replace the 1101年心理学 心理学概论 requirement of the neuroscience major. In order to receive credit for advanced placement work, students must have their scores officially reported to the Office of the Registrar by the end of their sophomore year at Bowdoin.
  • 如果专业排出来 杂志1109年 Scientific Reasoning in Biology, thirteen courses related to neuroscience must still be completed.
  • 课程 that count toward the major must be taken for regular letter grades (not Credit/D/Fail).
  • Students must earn a C- or better for a course to count toward the major.
  • Only courses that are required for the neuroscience major and a second major or minor may double-count.
  • 神经科学 majors cannot also major in 化学 with a neurochemical concentration; they can, 然而, major in 化学 with a different concentration.  生物学专业和辅修专业, 生物化学专业, 心理学 majors and minors are also prohibited from declaring a major in neuroscience.

Information for Incoming Students

Students interested in majoring in neuroscience should begin by taking 1101年心理学 心理学概论 和/或 杂志1102年 生物学原理II/杂志1109年 Scientific Reasoning in Biology, both of which are required for the major. (Please see the student’s 生物学 placement to determine which course is most appropriate.) These courses serve as prerequisites for the two introductory-level neuroscience classes, 杂志2135年 神经生物学 (秋季学期)和 2050年心理学 生物心理学 (春季学期), either of which will prepare students for entry into the mid-level lab courses that form the core of the neuroscience major.

We encourage students interested in majoring in neuroscience to speak with faculty in the neuroscience program early in their Bowdoin career, particularly if they are interested in studying abroad. Students interested in beginning to explore neuroscience in their first year should consider 神经细胞1099 Brains in Motion: Exploring the Interface between Mind and Body; 然而, they should be aware that this course will not count towards the neuroscience major.

Students are also encouraged to consult with the 化学系 about their placement into 化学 courses, as an introductory 化学 course and 化学2250 有机化学I are also required for the major.
