I was looking through the list of majors offered by Penn. As a aspring premed, the Biological Basis of Behavior program really stood out as something interesting. Combining biology, chemistry, neuroscience, and psychology into one interdiscplinary study really appeals to me. So to current Penn students who are, or have friends, majoring in BBB, is this program really as cool as it sounds? And how hard would it be to double major in BBB and Econ?

And while at it, I am also looking into the Cognitive Studies major (with emphasis on neuroscience). Anyone know anything about that?

I'm also thinking about BBB or econ. The cognitive studies major seems to have too much breadth and not enough depth for me. BBB is 18.5 credits, but all the premed courses count towards it. Econ is 11 credits. As a CAS student, you need 32 to graduate, so double majoring would probably mean taking a bunch of courses each semester to graduate on time. Just talk to an adviser to see if it's possible in 4 years. I'm pretty sure I'll just major in econ and minor in BBB/HCMG if I stick with premed.
