Credit to be determined in each case, usually 3 units/summer; may be repeated for credit in different summers. Credits are received in the fall semester following the summer research. If work is to be submitted for Latin honors, see p. 3 of the Department of Biology Handbook for Majors, Latin Honors Through a Biology Major Program. The handbook can be found online HERE. Arrangements for registration should be completed no later than the end of Summer Session I through this website. Credit/No Credit or Audit grade options.

Declaring a Major Program in Biology: Neuroscience
Students may declare a major program in the neuroscience specialization through Workday. A declared major in the specialization does not guarantee eventual enrollment in laboratory courses Biol 4040 Laboratory of Neurophysiology (email gerrity@wustl.edu for waitlist info), Biol 3423 Behavioral Genetics Laboratory (email gerrity@wustl.edu for waitlist info), or PHYS 3324 (previously Biol 360) Biophysics Laboratory (enrollment by registration priority in Workday). The laboratory requirement for the neuroscience specialization can be met by any of the other courses approved for upper-level laboratory credit in biology (see p. 2 of the Biology Department Handbook ) provided that a student also has 6 credits for Biol 4953/4954 (Independent Research in Neuroscience). To register for Biology Independent Research in Neuroscience, see instructions HERE.
Students who already have credit for Biology 4950 for independent research in neuroscience can request a waiver allowing them to have their prior Biology 4950 credit count toward the Biology 4953/4954 requirement. Waiver requests can be submitted to biostudentquery@gowustl.onmicrosoft.com.
