Does Yale have an undergraduate neuroscience major?

<p>I can't find it on their site but I'm surprised because it seems that such a high-quality academic institution would offer such a major that a lot of good schools have</p>

<p>Yale does not offer a major in undergraduate neuroscience, nor does Harvard, UPenn, Columbia or Cornell. Princeton, Dartmouth and Brown do.</p>

<p>“Bad schools”
Yale
Harvard
Penn
Columbia
Cornell</p>

<p>“Good Schools”
Princeton
Dartmouth
Brown</p>

<p>LOL</p>

<p>Thats weird, from what I know Penn and Columbia do. (Penn just calls it “Biological Basis of Behavior”.) Is the Cognitive Science major similar?</p>

<p>Compare the course requirements for the majors.</p>

<p>Yale doesn’t offer an undergraduate degree in business, either. I’m not sure that makes Yale deficient.</p>

<p>But if Yale doesn’t offer what you want to study, then maybe it’s not the place for you.</p>

<p>You can major in the neuroscience track of Psychology at Yale.</p>

<p>@gibby That is wrong, Columbia does in fact offer an undergraduate major in neuroscience. It is called “Neuroscience and Behavior.” [Columbia</a> Neuroscience](<a href=“Neuroscience | Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons”>Neuroscience | Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons)</p>

<p>I apologize; I stand corrected. Columbia good.</p>

<p>Columbia will be greatly relieved.</p>

<p>Cognitive Science is clearly what Yale offers undergraduates who want to study neuroscience and aren’t satisfied to do it from a Psychology or Biology major. It maybe covers more ground than a straight neuroscience major would, but for any particular student the flexibility and choice built into the program can turn it into a neuroscience major for that student.</p>
