PSYC 91.01 Honors Neuroscience Research I
This course is designed to enable qualified Neuroscience majors (whose major GPA is above 3.3), usually seniors, to engage in honors laboratory or field research under the direction of a faculty member. Students must take two terms of Honors Research (PSYC 91.01 and PSYC 91.02). No more than two terms of 90, 91, or a combination of 90s and 91s may count toward the required courses for the major. Since honors students take PSYC 91.01 and PSYC 91.02, one may count towards the upper-level (60 or above) culminating experience requirement for the major and the second may count as an elective numbered above 20, but cannot be used to fulfill the major requirement for electives numbered above 40. Students are awarded one course credit for successful completion of this course once they complete the Neuroscience Honors Program requirements, generally at the end of the spring term. Students subsequently register for PSYC 91.02. Although students must register for two terms of Honors Neuroscience Research (PSYC 91.01 and PSYC 91.02), honors research coursework extends over three terms. Students do not register for a third term. A final grade will replace the “ON” for both this course and PSYC 91.02 upon completion of the Neuroscience Honors program requirements. Please see the description of the Neuroscience Honors program for additional information.
