Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 39 courses
The Integrated Science Program is a highly selective BA program in Weinberg College. It is possible to complete a double major in ISP and Neuroscience with an Allied Field of Computation and Systems Modeling by completing the courses below in addition to ISP requirements. Note that NEUROSCI 311-0 in ISP is required to be completed by students doing the second major in neuroscience; students completing both majors may not substitute INTG_SCI 398-0 or another course in the ISP curriculum. ISP students take NEUROSCI 311-0 Biophysical Analysis of Neurons for ISP no later than junior year, most commonly in sophomore year. Double-counting note: Students who may be considering adding a third major (or a minor) to ISP+neuroscience should keep in mind that Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a major course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog (see related course requirement, below). Weinberg College does allow double-counting a major course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits. Majors with strong academic records and significant research accomplishments may pursue honors in neuroscience. Interested students should contact the director of undergraduate studies by email no later than the beginning of fall quarter senior year. Considerations for honors include GPA and the quality of a written thesis based on the studentβs research. Students also must complete at least 1 quarter of Independent Study in Neuroscience (NEUROSCI 399-0) prior to winter term of senior year, and Senior Thesis Seminar (NEUROSCI 398-0) in winter of senior year. Students meeting department requirements may be recommended to the college for graduation with honors. For more information consult the department website and see Honors in the Major.
