Predicted Course Offerings

One of the most common questions I receive is “When will this course be available?”. Below, I have made an attempt to answer that question with all classes relevant to the neuroscience major and minor. Because of how classes are created (i.e., at the whim of faculty and administrators) this is not and cannot be a final list of when a course will be taught. You should use this list to get a general idea of when courses will occur and be sure to contact instructors directly for verification.

If you think you have come across a mistake, please contact me and let me know.

*Due to the nature of these courses, they may count as either a Project Based Laboratory Course or an elective, but not both at the same time.
