Biopsychology Concentration

The Biopsychology Concentration within the Psychology Major allows students to engage in coursework and research that will provide them with a strong understanding of the biological bases of behavior and mental function.

Courses are selected from the Psychology, Biology, and Chemistry Departments that are related to the following: evolution and genetics of behavior; neural, neurochemical, and physiological control of behavior; the biology of behavioral development; and molecular neurobiology of behavior.

The concentration is meant for students who plan to enter a graduate program in the neurosciences or a related area of biopsychology, but will also be valuable to pre-medical students or those interested in the health-related professions.
