Neuroscience

“When I found out that Harvard had six different biology concentrations, I felt a bit overwhelmed and even frustrated. In order to narrow down my choices, I shopped MCB 60, SCRB 10, and Neuro 80. All three courses were very interesting in their own way, but I found Neuro 80 to be the most attractive. Since AP Biology barely scratched the surface of neuroscience, the opportunity to study the brain and the nervous system in more depth and detail was too tempting for me to pass up. Fun fact: Harvard is home to the first Neuroscience department in the nation (how cool is that?!). The Neuroscience concentration is super flexible and also helps premed students easily fulfill all course requirements for applying to medical school. Plus, Ryan and Laura are two of the nicest and most helpful advisors that I have met. You can’t go wrong with concentrating in Neuroscience at Harvard.”
