<p>Hey there. I'm entering LSP this fall and am undecided on a major. They say many people are in this situation and that I have time to figure it out, but I'm not so sure. I either want to do something with languages or something in science. What really worries me is the science part. Neural Science interests me very much, and it takes A LOT of requirements. It seems as if you pretty much need to start your freshman year to complete all the courses required for the major. Not only am I worried because of the restrictions in LSP, but I'm also nervous because I'm still undecided. I could go with Neural Science or Classics...or maybe Sociology...or Psychology. I wish I had the time to mess around with it all, but I don't think I do. Any suggestions/reasoning for what might happen if I decide my sophomore year that I want to opt for science? I'm worried that I won't graduate in four years or won't be able to do the major. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Stop worrying! Most students enter Undecided, you’ll likely figure it out by the end of Freshmen year. I’m in LSP, my major is Neural Science, and I’m preMed to top it off. It’s hard, but manageable. These are the minimum Neural Sci requirements:</p>
<p>7 courses in Neural Science (29 pts) or 6 courses and Physics II
3 courses in Biology (12 pts)
2 courses in Chemistry (12 pts)
1 course in Psychology (4 pts)
1 course at the Calculus level in mathematics (4 pts)
1 elective course in either Biology or Experimental Psychology. (4 or more pts)</p>
<p>That’s 15 classes. Generally students take 8 classes per year, it’s not too hard. Do not take any of the useless LSP science classes. I believe starting with Class of 2013, you need to do a minimum of 3 Science classes - take classes in your CAS major, don’t waste your time with the LSP crap, that’s for non-science majors. Tell your advisor you want to do Neural Science and take those Science classes in CAS starting freshmen year. PM me if you have specific questions or something.</p>
<p>Gotcha. I totally forgot that you could opt out of the LSP science courses. What happens, though, if I take the CAS courses and then decide a science major isn’t for me? They still count, right?</p>
