Biology Allied Field

Biology is the study of living organisms at molecular, cellular, systems, and community levels. Within the Neuroscience major, the Biology Allied Field includes courses that focus on the biological functions of the brain, as well as more general biological sciences courses. This option may be used toward admission requirements of most medical schools.

Electives in the Biology Allied Field (choose 4 units from the list below, 2 courses which must be 300-level or above).

Courses in the first group are listed separately because they are prerequisites for some of the additional electives in Biology.

This Allied Field is not available to students doing the major in biological sciences with a concentration in Molecular Neurobiology.

BIOL_SCI 202-0  and BIOL_SCI 203-0 may be used as electives in the Neuroscience major’s Biology Allied Field. 

 


Additional Electives in Biology

Neuroscience courses listed here may be taken as a Group B Neuroscience elective or an elective for the Allied Field in Biology, but each course may count either toward Group B or the Allied Field in Biology but not both.

Projected Annual Course Plans: NEUROSCI

Biological Sciences courses listed here also may be counted toward the Allied Field in Biology (choose 4 units from the list below, 2 courses which must be 300-level or above).

^Students double majoring in Neuroscience and biology with a concentration other than Molecular Neurobiology may double count two of these courses. BIOL_SCI 301-0 Principles in Biochemistry is the only 300-level course which may be double counted.
