The
Degree with Honors
The
degree with honors in neuroscience provides students with the opportunity
to undertake an original research project under the supervision of one
or more of the neuroscience faculty. In addition to completing the requirements
of the Neuroscience Program, candidates for an honors degree must enroll
in Neuroscience 493-W031-494 and
write a thesis based on an original research project. Presentation of
a thesis, however, should not be interpreted as a guarantee of a degree
with honors. Students interested in pursuing a degree with honors
should contact the Neuroscience Advisory Committee in the spring of their
junior year.
