<p>There’s not TOO much I can tell you about the neuroscience major, but I can give you some insight into what I do know.</p>
<p>The intro-level classes sound more behavioral to me (Brain & Behavior, Drugs & Behavior) whereas the upper classes sound more biological. My friend is a neuroscience major and this past year was taking classes like “Synaptic Transmissions” which sounded to me like they dive into the biology aspect of things. Remember, you will also be able to take electives in your major. There are a number you can choose from. Scanning through Pitt’s page, I see classes like “Neural Basis of Cognition” and “Neurochemical Basis of Behavior.” Maybe you can choose electives that align with your interests?</p>
<p>Double majoring would be difficult, just because the science majors in general (bio, chem, neuro) tend to be a lot of credits. The psych major isn’t so bad on credits, but fitting that into a neuroscience major could be difficult. (Honestly, I know a few neuro majors and many more psych majors, but none who are both.) Also, what do you mean by “general ed courses for the 2nd major”? Both majors are in the school of A&S, so you only have one set of gen eds that must be completed.</p>
<p>Another side note: I’m pretty sure Pitt doesn’t have a psych minor. I recall looking into that freshman year but you might want to double check.</p>
