- PSYC 50s level, 80s level, and other approved electives:
At the beginning of each academic year, the Neuroscience Steering Committee will announce which other courses qualify for elective credit. Below is a link to the currently approved Electives that count towards the Neuroscience minor. We recommend that you not save a copy of this pdf to your computer at the beginning of the year, but instead use this link each time you wish to access this list. This is because we may add classes as the year progresses and those updates will appear here.

Notes
- Elective courses CANNOT be taken as an NRO.
- While it is highly likely that subsequent offerings of a course would also count as an elective, it is not guaranteed. This is because the instructor may change and/or the amount of neuro-relevant content may change over time. Please consult each year's list of approved electives to be sure the course you plan to take counts as an elective!
- Not all 50s, 51s, 52s, and 80s-level courses count for neuroscience credit. You MUST consult the list of Approved Neuroscience Elective Courses for each year (via the link above).
- Courses that are taken as part of another major/minor cannot be used as elective courses for Neuroscience.
- For permission courses at 60's and 80's level, students should fill out an online permission form.
- *You cannot earn credit for both PSYC 28 and PSYC 38.
