In addition to
fulfilling the required courses, students are allowed to develop an academic
program that best relates to their scholarly and research needs by taking
elective courses offered by a variety of academic programs at WSU.
Elective
courses may be selected from the following list. The student may also
petition the Neuroscience Curriculum Committee to substitute additional
appropriate courses from other departments. In selecting elective
courses, the student and advisor should consider the student's area of
emphasis in the Program and seek the advice of his/her thesis committee for a
program of study in that area. The student must obtain written approval
from his/her research committee and the Neuroscience Curriculum Committee to
substitute courses (see Petition Instructions, page 24). This will
ensure that the proper forms are completed and recorded in the student's
graduate file. It is required that PhD students take at least three
(3) out of the four (4) Special Topics Courses (Neuro 540-543).
MS students are required to take at least one (1) Special Topics Course.
These Special Topics Courses provide students with a well-rounded degree and
assist in preparation for the Preliminary Examination and Final Defense.
