Majors In UVA

<p>In UVA what's the Interdisciplinary major? Is that where you combine like a few classes to make up a major. Is Neuroscience one of them? Also if anyone is majoring in it what classes do you take? Are there like Neuroscience classes?</p>

<p>BUMP Please Answer</p>

<p>Interdisciplinary Major - <a href="http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/college/imp/index.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/college/imp/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>There is an existing Neuroscience major with neuroscience classes. Check the course directory: <a href="http://www.virginia.edu/cod%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.virginia.edu/cod&lt;/a>. You'll probably also need to take psychology and biology courses. It's a fairly wide field and the major's requirements are open so the classes you will take will be highly dependent on what you actually want to do in neuroscience. I think UVA conducts undergraduate research in the field as well.</p>

<p>So like it's not that strong of a major since you can take the classes that you want. I'm deciding between that and Human Biology or Biomedical Engineering or Business</p>

<p>Quite the opposite, sciencenerd. The program is for innovative students who want to create their program.

The Interdisciplinary Major Program offers students with unusual interests, superior ability, and exceptional self-discipline the opportunity to design an individual program of study instead of pursuing a regular department major. The program hopes to attract proposals that show creativity, novel approaches to learning, and experimentation, but it does insist that the applicant be able to designate clearly a definite field of study which falls within the liberal arts and sciences.
