193.12.1 Honors in Neuroscience
The Honors program in Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary program coordinated by the Centre for Neuroscience and administered by the Faculty of Science. This program is for students planning a career in Neuroscience.
For admission to the Honors in Neuroscience program see Admission Chart 5, §15.15.
Neuroscience is a broadly based discipline covering all aspects of brain function. Some major areas are brain development, nerve cells and synapses, sensation and perception, learning and memory, control of movement, animal behavior, cognitive psychology, and disorders of the nervous system.
The Honors program introduces the major areas of Neuroscience and allows students to explore topics of interest in their final year.
Continuation in the Honors in Neuroscience program requires successful completion of 
30 with a minimum 3.3 GPA in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, graduation requires a minimum 3.3 GPA on the last 60 credited to the degree.
A full course load of 30 per academic year must be maintained throughout each year of the Honors program. Courses cannot be deferred to the Spring/Summer Terms without prior permission of the program coordinator.
