<p>are there any programs similar to PNP at different colleges? it seems like a very unique and intriguing program.
i'd like to apply to some similar programs in case i dont get in RD</p>
<p>It is not completely unique, but unusual. Several Wash U doctoral grads have gone on to establish somewhat similar programs elsewhere. I will try to find the school names. </p>
<p>There are a few schools with undergrad neuro programs, but they are missing the Philosophy piece. One of the texts in the opening class is Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. If you enjoy that subject matter, PNP may be for you.</p>
<p>ok thanks, let me know what you find
i've started reading blink and it is very interesting. recently i've been reading more non-fiction social science books like these and i'm really enjoying them.</p>
<p>did you find anything?</p>
<p>Blink is indeed interesting.
Hmm, maybe you can check out the cognitive sciences at Rice.</p>
<p>I have found very little. They told us at an orientation that their Ph.D. grads had gone on to found similar programs, but I cannot find them. Perhaps they are graduate programs only (but I can't find them either). I would suggest calling the department and asking them.</p>
<p>USC's seems somewhat similar, though not in name: USC</a> Neuroscience: Undergraduate Program</p>
<p>An interesting paper on the subject: The</a> Philosophy of Neuroscience (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)</p>
<p>A bunch of other links: Neuroscience</a>, Psychiatry & Psychology, Psychoanalysis</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>More programs that are somewhat similar. The bottom line is that many Philosophy programs now include some bio/neuro type courses, and the few schools with undergraduate neuro majors seems to offer a philosophy/psych track. While not a twin of the PNP program, I believe one could achieve a similar curriculum within these programs based on the electives chosen.</p>
<p>To find these, Google the following string: Undergraduate Neuroscience Philosophy OR Psychology</p>
