Admission to the Progam

General Information:  Admission to the concentration is by application. Copies of the application can be downloaded in the links below. Each spring semester up to eight second-year students are admitted. In February, all second year biology, psychology, and undeclared majors are invited to an informational meeting about the concentration. Applications are typically due two weeks later.

The application consists of a letter of interest, a copy of the transcript, and two letters of recommendation. Applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the concentration prior to writing their letter of interest by speaking with current concentrators and faculty involved with the concentration.

Notification of acceptance into the concentration is made prior to spring registration. Students who have been accepted to the concentration meet with the Director to guide them through registration into courses that fulfill the concentration requirements.
