Is a psychology major with a concentration in neuroscience the same as a neuro major?

College Majors

<p>Just wondering, because I'm a freshman who's tentatively considering majoring in neuroscience (decided after I picked my school), but my school only offers a psychology major with a concentration in neuroscience. If I did end up deciding to major in neuroscience and took that option, would I be called a psych major or a neuroscience major? Thanks for any responses! x</p>

<p>It’s a psychology major with a concentration in neuroscience.
Just say you’re doing a neuroscience concentration in the psychology dept. Don’t get so hung on on what the major is titled or which dept. offers it. See my posts in these threads; especially see the link in my post in the first thread listed below:
