Online Neuroscience Classes

It is now possible to satisfy the upper and lower level core requirements for the Neuroscience Major online!

INTRODUCTION TO NEUROSCIENCE 1 (Fall) NRSC 2100

4.0 semester hoursProvides and introduction to fundamental concepts in neuroscience. The goal of this first course is to provide a strong foundation in neurobiology--cell biology, physiology of the neuronal membrane, interneuronal communication, neurotransmission, gross anatomy, and how the brain develops. Students will also learn principles of sensory systems functions. Prereq., instructor consent. Fulfills PSYC 2012 requirement for psychology majors.

Instructor: Don Cooper PhD and Leah Leverich PhD

IL 3 (10 weeks) - Section 581: Class No. 14457 Online, Term-Based August 29 - December 9

NEUROPHARMACOLOGY (Fall) NRSC 4132

3.0 semester hoursAdvanced course in neuroscience, considering chemical transmission in detail. Topics include endocrinology as well as the mechanism of action of psychoactive drugs, cellular neurochemistry, and special topics in neuroscience research. Prereq., instructor consent.

Don Cooper PhD and Tim Koeltzow PhD

• If you are an student with a current general science major you can either switch to Neuroscience or add Neuroscience as a double major with 3 online Classes (Introduction to Neuroscience-NRSC 2100, Neurobiology of Learning and Memory-NRSC 4132 or Neuropharmacology- NRSC 4032) and use your other approved upper level sciences listed below to satisfy the Neuroscience Major requirements.
