Notes:

• Premedical students should take SOC 203  in the liberal arts requirements. They should also select BIOL 253  or BIOL 315 , PHYS 201 , PHYS 202  and CHEM 324  as part of the electives for this major. CHEM 249  may be substituted for CHEM 215 . Additional premedical courses would be helpful as time allows, and other classes may be required depending upon the medical schools to which the student applies.
• Some graduate programs in cognitive neuroscience may require more coursework for entry or prerequisites may be required for entry into some coursework. Depending on career goals, the elective hours should be carefully selected.
• Students must have a 2.5 GPA to graduate from the program. Students who drop below a 2.5 GPA for two consecutive semesters may be dropped from the program.
