<p>I'm planning on transferring to Tulane this fall. I'll be entering as a sophomore. I'm currently a Biotechnology/Molecular bioscience major at RIT. I'm interested in neurobiology, more specifically in psychopharmacology and/or behavioral neuroscience.
I'm wondering what your thoughts are on what major I should choose. I plan on majoring in psychology, but I can't decide whether I'll have my second major be neuroscience or cell and molecular biology. I'm a little worried about being overwhelmed by the course load. Which option would be best for entering the field, neuroscience because it's more related? Or biology because it would give me a broader bavkground? Which department do you think is better overall?</p>
<p>Neuroscience is a program, with almost half of its faculty in PSYC and nearly half in Cell Biology (then a few in the med school and BME). Either is an appropriate second major to PSYC, and both have the premed requirements included. See whether you like developmental biology a lot ( the part of cell that isn’t in neuroscience) versus the social/child/abnormal side of psych ( the part of psych that isn’t neuroscience). That will help you decide.</p>
<p>You need to declare ONE major by this time next year, but you have a little more time to formallly add the second.</p>
