You should plan on completing NEU 201, NEU 202, and MAT 103 by the Spring of your sophomore year. You do not need to take NEU 201 before NEU 202. In your junior year, you should take NEU 314 (Fall) and NEU 350 (Spring). All other courses can be taken anytime during your stint here at Princeton.
NEU will allow individual courses to fulfill both NEU requirements and certificate requirements, providing it is permissible to the certificate program. Those of you who are seeking to obtain a certificate in another unit should check with those requirements.
The Director of Undergraduate Studies, (DUS), Professor Elizabeth Gould.
Yes, but there are two caveats. First, it must be an elective and the course cannot be a survey-style neuroscience course like NEU 201 or NEU 202; you must take those here at Princeton. Second, you must share, and have approved, the course syllabus with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Studying abroad can be a wonderful opportunity. Below is a document provided by the Office of International Programs that contains links to some places that have neuroscience programs and their course offerings. Some of these courses may be used to fulfill your major elective requirements. [Note: You should always check with the NEU Director of Undergraduate Studies before making any course selections.]
A selection of opportunities to study neuroscience abroad.
There are certainly other countries that you may want to check out; please consult with the Office of International Programs.
Unlikely. It would have to be a pretty significant project and you would have to find an interested co-advisor on the PNI faculty to help guide you through your work.
Possibly. Communicate with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
No, not for NEU courses, but maybe for cognate electives. Communicate with Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Yes, but the decision is made by the Math or Physics departments. We follow their placement decisions. Follow up with your Residential College Dean and the department to facilitate your placement for these courses. Also advance placement (AP) credit must be listed in TigerHub.
In addition to pursuing graduate or medical studies, there are many other career opportunities for individuals rigorously trained in neuroscience.
