    Description of Major

    *Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*

    The Department of Psychology offers an undergraduate major in Behavioral Neuroscience that focuses on systems, organismal, and human-level approaches to the study of brain function. The curriculum emphasizes Biology and Psychology, with essential foundations in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Statistics. Elective coursework in the Behavioral Neuroscience major offers a focus that includes the effects of sensory and social experience on brain and behavior, the mechanisms of learning and memory, cognitive processes and emotion, human brain disorders and disease, and the neural and behavioral effects of drugs and hormones. The unique multi-disciplinary breadth of the Behavioral Neuroscience major prepares students for a variety of STEM-related careers – scientific research and/or education, all health professions, biomedical engineering, computer and cognitive science, as well as several human-centered professions such as law and economics.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Complete the following items on the Application Status Check by the application deadline:

    • Complete the International School Form to tell us more about your educational curriculum.
    • Self-report all ACT and/or SAT scores.
    • Upload your essay.
    • Upload your resume/list of activities.
    Once the International School Form has been submitted, additional requirements may be added to your Application Status checklist.

    Applicants whose educational history has not followed a curriculum patterned after the U.S. educational system are encouraged to submit their academic records to a foreign-credential-evaluation agency for a secondary-school evaluation to include a grade-point-average calculation.

    • If your school follows a U.S. patterned curriculum, you will be asked to complete the Self-reported Student Academic Record (SSAR). To learn more about the SSAR, view our FAQ.
    • If your school follows an exam-based curriculum, you will be asked to submit official or certified copies of your exam results.
    • All other applicants should submit official or certified copies of all secondary-school records and secondary-school evaluation. All credentials from non-U.S. institutions must be evaluated before the application deadline by a foreign-credential-evaluation agency to include a U.S. equivalent grade point average. We recommend a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. All academic records should be issued in the native language and be accompanied by a certified English translation.
    Certified Copy of Required Academic Records
    • All transcripts/academic records that are not in English must be accompanied by certified English translations.
    • To be considered "certified," documents should be true copies that are signed and dated by an educational official familiar with academic records. Any translated record should be literal and not an interpretive translation. Documents signed by a notary or other public official with no educational affiliation will not be accepted.
    • If the transcript/academic record does not indicate the degree earned and date the degree was awarded, separate proof of degree is required.

    Applicants whose native language is not English should self-report English proficiency exam results.
