A couple of questions about Neuroscience, Music, Pre-Med, and dorms.

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pittsburgh

<p>1) Is Neuroscience a difficult major when doing pre-med as well? Actually, I'm assuming that Neuroscience students are doing pre-med (or a good portion of them, at least) Is it as difficult if I got accepted into the Honors program? </p>

<p>2) Is there any sort of audition for the music major? I couldn't find anything on the original application.</p>

<p>3) I'm considering doing Neuroscience + PreMed with a Music double major. I have a full tuition scholarship, but will the extra classes essentially negate that scholarship and force me to pay extra tuition money?</p>

<p>4) Picky question and won't make or break anything but... are the Honors dorms air-conditioned? :D</p>

<p>1) Most neuroscience majors are pre-med. The premed prereqs are already part of the neuroscience major (the same is the case for the bio major as well). Being in the honors college only really makes a difference if you take the honors version of courses, which is completely optional.</p>

<p>2) I don’t think so. Requirements for music major can be found here: <a href=“http://www.asundergrad.pitt.edu/advising/documents/MUSIC.pdf[/url]”>http://www.asundergrad.pitt.edu/advising/documents/MUSIC.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>3) Should not be a problem. Plenty of students (esp those with full tuition) double major, even in very different disciplines. This is also made easier if you come in with a lot of AP/college credit. </p>

<p>4) Yes.</p>

<p>For the full tuition scholarship, they allow you to take up to 18 credits. If you go over, you pay the extra cost. 18 is a pretty full load already!</p>

<p>It’s only as difficult as you make it. Just because you are a UHC student doesn’t mean you are required to take UHC classes. You can take as few (0) or as many (all?) honors classes as you want. In some cases, I’ve heard the honors classes are better (and easier?!) that non-honors. Best example is Bio. Chem and Physics have gotten iffy apparently.</p>

<p>My daughter was a psych major who took four neuroscience courses (one course short of a minor) for fun. They were demanding, but she did well in all of them because she likes the subject matter.</p>

<p>If you took AP bio and chem in high school and did well on the tests, that would really help you because you could start neuro right away without doing a year of both of them at Pitt.</p>

<p>Getting a 4 will get you out of Chem 1 and Bio 1, a 5 will get you out of Chem 1 and 2 and Bio 1 and 2.</p>
