The Neurobiology Track

As alternatives to the standard MCDB major, students can choose either the biotechnology or the neurobiology tracks. The requirements for each of these interdisciplinary tracks differ somewhat from those of the standard major.

Core Courses
MCDB 200a (Genetics)
MCDB 300a (Biochemistry)
MCDB 205b (Cell Biology)
MCDB 360a (Neurobiology)
Electives
Three credits
Laboratories
Two upper-level labs.

Electives should be chosen from ANTH 280a, CPSC 475b, LING 231b, MCDB 205b or 210a (whichever is not chosen for the core requirement), MCDB 215a or PSYC 200a or b, MCDB 240b, 310a, 315b, 410b, 425a, 430a, 440b, PSYC 321b. (Note: PSYC 110a or be is a prerequisite for upper-level psychology courses.) Because it is difficult to monitor course changes in other departments, this list can be incomplete or out of date. Consult with a track advisor if you wish approval for a substitution.

The two laboratories should ordinarily be chosen from MCDB courses.

Students interested in the neurobiology track should consult an adviser for the track.
