Neuroscience
As a Psychology major, you are required to take BSCI 105: Principles of Biology as your science gateway requirement. Why, you ask? Simple... The fundamental concepts taught in BSCI 105 are key building blocks to a better understanding of how the mind and body work together to create thought, behavior, and other psychological phenomena. Additionally, a general background in biology prepares you for more advanced psychology coursework in sensory and neural systems such as memory and cognition (PSYC 341), developmental psychology (PSYC 355), and perception (PSYC 310).
To support our students in BSIC 105 the Department has developed a number of helpful resources. We also strongly encourage all students to take advantage of all the other services provided for free.
BSCI 105 Syllabus Supplement for PSYC Majors – A two-page document that helps students identify what they will be learning in their biology course and how that is linked to their interests in psychology.
Interactive Video Modules - 5-10-minute interactive videos exploring some of the topics you learn in BSCI 105 and how they are related to familiar (and interesting) psychological phenomena:
