Double Major in Neurobiology and Psychology

<p>How realistic it is to be able to double major in Neurobiology and Psychology?</p>

<p>Shouldn’t be a problem, but you may want to speak to advisers from those departments so that you plan your course load appropriately.</p>

<p>Thanks, anyone else?</p>

<p>There is no “neurobiology” major lol</p>

<p>^ There is an interdepartmental concentration in Neuroscience, offered jointly by the Molecular, Cell, & Developmental Biology Dept and the Psychology Dept.

<p>Since this concentration draws from both biology and psychology, interest in other subfields of psychology (e.g., developmental, social, etc.) would be the main reason to consider a double concentration. If the purpose is to obtain a broader background in psychology, this might be accomplished as well through electing courses of interest rather than double concentrating.</p>

<p>Also, the psychology dept., offers a curriculum guide for behavioral and cognitive neuroscience. This is not a concentration in itself, but provides some guidance should a psychology concentrator wish to focus his/her electives in that subfield.</p>

<p>I’d say not too difficult considering that psych and neurosci have a good bit of overlap and aren’t exactly known as being the most difficult majors. You should be able to do it.</p>
