Degree Overview

The neuroscience integrated learning major (ILM) is a 24-credit (18 credits of core courses, 6 credits of electives) major that must be paired with a primary major. The type of degree awarded, whether B.A. or B.S., aligns with the primary major. This program comprises 24 credits of coursework spanning biology, psychology and communication sciences and disorders. Through elective coursework, students have the flexibility to explore their neuroscientific interests across other fields. The neuroscience major must be paired with another degree program, typically within the College of Arts and Sciences and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, but the other major can also be based in any other college or school, subject to approval by the director.
