Students can build their programs of concentrations in a variety of ways. We illustrate here just
two possibilities, one for a student who pursues a track in Behavioral Neurobiology, and another for a student
who starts in the program at a later stage, and pursues a track in Language and Development.
Beginning in Fall 2011, the department will no longer be offering its own statistics course (the old BCS 200). Students will fulfill the statistics requirement for the major by taking STT 212. Multiple sections of that class are offered in both Fall and Spring semesters.
