2. How are the various Neuroscience & Mental Health degrees different?

20-credit Honours: For students interested in pursuing graduate studies, including research-based graduate studies. Includes a 4th-year honours project, which can be research or non-research based. Students planning to pursue research-based graduate studies need to be aware of admission requirements for their desired program(s) and ensure they align their honours project accordingly. This program has a higher threshold of CGPA (cumulative grade point average). Co-Op is available in this program.

20-credit Major: For students who wish to maximize their neuroscience education but are not planning on pursuing graduate studies in research. Is identical to the honours stream, but replaces the 4th-year honours project with 1.0 credit in upper year NEUR courses. Co-Op is not available in this program.

15-credit Major: For students who want to develop an understanding of neuroscience and mental health in a shorter time-frame. Ideal for those already in a job that requires a BSc in order to advance. Can be completed in three years with full course load. Does not include Data Analysis courses, 4000-level courses, or a 4th-year honours project. Co-Op is not available in this program.
