NRO 493 - Neuroscience Thesis, Credit hours to be arranged

Prerequisite(s): PSY 250/NRO 250, permission of the thesis advisor and permission from the Chair of the Neuroscience Program.
This is the capstone research experience for the Neuroscience Major. Majors may select their thesis advisor from the faculty of the Biology, Chemistry or Psychology Departments. The topic of the thesis must be relevant to the study of the brain, peripheral nervous system, or the senses and must be approved by the Chair of the Neuroscience Program. It is expected that the Neuroscience Thesis will result in an archival scholarly paper and students will be encouraged to present their work at an appropriate forum (e.g., regional or national scientific meeting, Biology or Chemistry Seminars; BW Science Poster session). The Thesis will be defended before the Neuroscience Studies Committee and Neuroscience students. Passing of the oral defense is required for the awarding of the Neuroscience Major.
