Program Description: The Neuroscience major allows Tulane students to pursue an interdepartmental curriculum on the nervous system and its regulation of physiological and behavioral processes. Neuroscience at Tulane covers a broad range of study from the cellular/molecular control of brain cells to the regulation of responses in living organisms. The B.S. in Neuroscience requires 9 credits of neuroscience core courses; 12 credits of elective science courses; and 38 credits of premedical courses in other sciences and mathematics. Active participation in university research is encouraged. The Neuroscience Major fulfills the requirements for admission to graduate study in neuroscience or medical school.
Admission Requirements: Any full-time Liberal Arts and Science student at Tulane University is eligible to declare Neuroscience as a major.
