Biological Psychology Concentration

The biological psychology concentration provides an opportunity for a limited number of biology and psychology students to pursue a coherent curriculum that emphasizes the biological basis of behavior. As a concentration, it is not considered a major or minor. Up to eight-second year students are accepted into the concentration each year.

Curriculum requirements for the concentration include an introductory course in both biology and psychology and four additional courses from a broad range of course offerings within the two departments. Students are also required to participate in a senior research thesis and are expected to participate in weekly meetings.

Interested students are urged to contact the Concentration Director, Pr. Daniel Bitran, as early as possible in their career.
