Required courses are shown in black type and are marked with *
Courses that satisfy basic science core requirements are shown in green type and are marked with # (12 h)
Courses that satisfy the behavioral neuroscience electives are shown in purple type and are marked with ¥ (9 h).
[NOTE: Courses in black type marked with * and ¥ are required for one track but not the other]
Courses that meet the general elective requirements for Ph.D. are shown in orange type.
Normal course loads are 12-16 h per term. Students are generally expected to take one or two of the courses marked in colored type until requirements in each category are met.
Some courses are only taught every 2 years, so the exact sequencing of courses across years may vary.
