Co-op, Minors, Certificates and Engineering Concurrent Programs for Students
Minors available to students in Neuroscience
Minor programs allow students to develop subject specialties in addition to their Major or Honours subjects. Minors in other subjects are normally added to 120 credit hour BSc or BA programs (including Science Co-op).
Students in a BSc (120 credit hour) program in Neuroscience may choose to include a Minor selected from the list of approved Minors (except Psychology). Courses counted toward a Major or Honours subject cannot be used to fulfill the requirements of a Minor program.
Certificates
In combination with a BSc in Neuroscience, students may obtain one or more Certificates. A Certificate indicates that a student has achieved a certain level of proficiency in a given area or subspecialty. Courses counted toward a Major, Honours or Minor subject may also be used to fulfill the requirements of a Certificate. Students must apply to the Certificate Coordinator to be considered for a Certificate. Certificates are awarded upon graduation and are noted on the student’s academic transcript.
A complete list of Faculty of Science Certificates and requirements can be found at the beginning of the Faculty of Science section. Students may also work toward obtaining Certificates offered by other Faculties; some of these are listed in the College of Arts and Science Degree Requirements section.
Certificates of particular interest to students enrolled in a BSc in Neuroscience include:
BSc/BEng Concurrent Program
Students wishing to combine their interest in Neuroscience with a degree in Engineering may choose a BSc/BEng Concurrent Program. Students take courses toward, and complete the requirements for a BSc 120 credit hour Major in Neuroscience, at the same time as they fulfill their BEng requirements. Such a program normally takes 5 years (or longer) to complete. Interested students should see undergraduate advisors from Neuroscience and from the Faculty of Engineering in their first year of study.
