<p>do many of the courses required for psychology, neuroscience and pre-med prerequisites over lap. would psychology and neuroscience be an unusual double major...how hard would it be to do in 4 years?...how hard would it be to do in 5 years? would the double major be impressive to med schools?</p>

<p>Double Major in Neuroscience and Psychology</p>
<p>Students can complete double majors in Neuroscience / Psychology by completing 18 non-overlapping courses from the curricula of the two majors. Courses listed in the Neuroscience curriculum of 3 or 4 credits can be included among the 18 non-overlapping courses, including Psychology 1000 and Cell 1010. The following exceptions apply. (1) Laboratories that are separate 1-credit components of lecture courses do not count towards the 18 non-overlapping courses. Four-credit courses that include laboratories, 3-credit independent study courses, and 7-credit honors theses can count toward the 18 non-overlapping courses. (2) Neuroscience co-requisite courses in chemistry and physics do not count towards the list of 18 non-overlapping courses.</p>
<p>A double major should broaden a student’s knowledge in both areas of study. Therefore, students are encouraged strongly to complete courses in their Psychology major that are outside the field of neuroscience such as courses in developmental, social, or industrial/organizational psychology.</p>
<p>A student who plans to pursue a double major must first meet with Dr. Dohanich (<a href=“mailto:dohanich@tulane.edu”>dohanich@tulane.edu</a>) and must get approval to pursue the double major from his/her advisor in Newcomb-Tulane College. Any student who already has been approved by Dr. Dohanich to pursue a double major in Neuroscience and Psychology should follow the curriculum developed in consultation with Dr. Dohanich and MUST have an up-to-date list of the proposed 18 non-overlapping courses on file in the Neuroscience Office, 2013 Stern Hall.</p>
<p>How difficult would it be to double major in biological sciences/ biological anthropology and Latin/classics at Tulane. Would I have to devote an additional year? How prestigious is the Classics department at Tulane?</p>
<p>I don’t think double majoring at Tulane is a huge deal. Almost everyone I know intends to double major and graduate in four years. I think this is also why so many people take more than the standard 15 hours.</p>
