The Department of Neuroscience offers four B.Sc. programs, plus a Minor in Neuroscience and Mental Health. Program requirements and course descriptions can be found in the Undergraduate Calendar.
Please read through the information on this website, include our Frequently Asked Questions, and then email neuroscience@carleton.ca for further inquiry.
For most students, we recommend the Neuroscience and Mental Health program. This is our largest program, and is very popular with students interested in pursing Health and Life Science careers including research, medicine, pharmaceutical/biotechnology industries, and teaching. Launched in 2012, this new program maximizes the breadth of cutting edge neuroscience courses that are available to you.
The Department also offers a Combined Honours in Neuroscience and Biology where there is an equal split of NEUR and BIOL courses, with emphasis on upper-year BIOL courses with labs. Students may choose to complete their 4th-year honours project through the Department of Biology, as opposed to the Department of Neuroscience.
