This course is designed for someone with no SCUBA experience. It consists of pool and classroom time, meeting once a week for 10 weeks. Half of the time is spent in the pool learning to use SCUBA equipment, the other half is spent in the classroom.

In this course, you will both individually and in teams to explore the inherently interdisciplinary environmental challenges facing society. You will engage in discussions, debates, and problem-based team projects to learn about, critically consider, reflect on, and address both local and global environmental problems. You will investigate the impacts of human activities on forests, water, fish and wildlife populations, urban areas, and climate change. If you are an NRC major, this will prepare you for upper-level studies.

In this course, we will consider the molecular and cellular mechanisms necessary for proper development and function of synapses and neural circuits in the brain and how information processing through these largely static structures can be reconfigured and modulated to permit organisms to modify behavior. Our discussions of nervous system function will consider not only the normal brain, but how disruption of synaptic and circuit function contributes to disease.

This mandatory pass/fail course is for first-year graduate students in the Neuroscience and Behavior Program. The primary goal of this proseminar is to provide graduate students with the tools to be successful in the NSB program, to prepare them for the challenges that they may face during their graduate careers, and to expose them to the professional skills and strategies that will help them for their careers.

Independent student research in neuroscience and behavior. The work is supervised by a faculty sponsor who determines direction of the project, reports required, grade and credit awarded. The project may consist of laboratory research, library research, or some combination of the two. Credit is variable (1-6 credits) and independent study may be repeated each semester. May be taken for a letter grade or graded Satisfactory (SAT). A SAT is similar to the undergraduate Pass (P) and is defined as passing for graduate credit.
