<p>UTD has a pretty good neuroscience program. Lots of the professors in the department are praised by previous students and there are a lot of research programs/activities that you can take part of, although I admit the BBS advising is kind of subpar compared to NSM advising, least in my experience. I didn’t switch out because the program was bad. My primary reasons were 1) I figured that I liked biology better than neuroscience topics 2) The biology degree, with the AP credits I brought in, gave me more flexibility to take classes outside of the sciences that I wanted to take (I wanted to pursue a creative writing/english/humanities type of minor and the biology degree plan gave me more flexibility to do this without having to load on a lot of credit hours).</p>
