Human Biology or Neuroscience majors!!!

<p>Is the Neuroscience major a strong one at UVA? The classes aren't like real structered or anything. Like there's no Neuroscience 101 or anything. So is the major a good one. I also like Human Biology so if anyone with either majors could help me that would be good. Thanks.</p>

<p>Neuroscience isn't a traditional academic discipline, which is why there isn't a specific track of courses in it. It's an interdisciplinary major, which means it's composed of a number of different disciplines. The major, from what I hear, is fairly strong. Before going headfirst into such a program, though, I'd advise that you do a little more research into what exactly neuroscience is and what the major involves. Majoring in something because it sounds cool is never a good idea. Here's a description of the major:</p>

<p>The biology department is also strong, but it's full of premeds.</p>

<p>Also do all science majors require humanities or social science classes? Thanks. Also thanks cavalier. Anyone with more info post please? Thanks</p>

<p>Yes, all majors in the college require completion of area requirements. Whether you do those at UVA or exempt yourself through APs or SAT2s is up to you.</p>

<p>Ya.. cavalier said it. The only way around this is echols scholar status...</p>
