Behavioural Neuroscience Major

Bachelor of Science

The Department of Psychology and the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology co-operate to offer this program leading to a bachelor of science in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences or the Faculty of Science. A committee consisting of three members from each department (undergraduate program chairs, department advisors, and behavioural neuroscience co-chairs) and one student representative administers the program. The committee is co-chaired by a member of each department.

This program requires 120 units: 60 required lower division, and 45 upper division units (including 43 required upper division units and 3 upper division Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV elective units), and 6 units designated Breadth-Humanities; and 9 lower or upper division Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV elective units.

Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV Requirements

Students may apply for admission to the Behavioural Neuroscience major program through the internal transfer process as outlined here.

Applicants are selected based on an admission grade point average (GPA) calculated over five required courses (SET 1 below). Students should apply for admission as soon as these five required courses have been completed. Unsuccessful applicants may complete four additional courses (SET 2) and apply again. A C- grade or better is required in each course used for the admission application, except for PSYC 201W where a minimum grade of C is required. Those not meeting the admission GPA upon completion of all SET 1 and 2 courses should make an appointment with the program advisor.

Students transferring to Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV from another post-secondary institution for the Behavioural Neuroscience major will first transfer into the Faculty of Science or Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

For students transferring some core courses from another post-secondary institution, only courses completed at Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV (and not previously completed elsewhere) are used in the admission GPA. Normally, at least 12 units from core courses are required as a basis for the GPA calculation. The Behavioural Neuroscience Committee must approve all exceptions.

  • PHYS 101 Physics for the Life Sciences I (3)

and one of

  • PSYC 100 (3)
  • PSYC 102 (3)

SET 2

Students complete one of

  • BISC 101 General Biology (4) If not taken as part of Set 1
  • CHEM 121 General Chemistry and Laboratory I (4) If not taken as part of Set 1

and one of

  • Math 154 Calculus I for the Biological Sciences (3) If not taken as part of Set 1
  • PHYS 101 Physics for the Life Sciences I (3) If not taken as part of Set 1

and one of

  • PSYC 100 (3) If not taken as part of Set 1
  • PSYC 102 (3) If not taken as part of Set 1

and

  • PSYC 210 (4)

Application Procedure

Students should complete a program approval form available on the Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology (BPK) website and submit it to the BPK academic advisor by June 1 for fall term approval, October 1 for spring term approval, or February 1 for summer term approval.

Program Requirements

Students complete 120 units, as specified below.

Lower Division Requirements

Students complete all of the following 58 units.

Biology

BISC 101 - General Biology (4)

An introduction to the biochemical and physiological mechanisms of living organisms. Topics covered include cell structure and function, DNA replication and the flow of genetic information, enzyme function, metabolism and physiology of microorganisms, plants, and animals. Prerequisite: High school biology 12 (or equivalent) with a C grade or better, or BISC 100 with C- or better, or BISC 113 with C+ or better, or HSCI 100 with C+ or better. Breadth-Science.

BPK 205 - Introduction to Human Physiology (3)

An introductory survey of human physiology with an emphasis on mechanisms of regulation and integration. Anatomy of structures will be detailed only when it is critical to a functional understanding. Although this is intended as a survey course, some topics will be covered in reasonable detail in order to give insight into mechanisms of function. BPK (or KIN) 208 may not be used as a substitute for BPK (or KIN) 205 by students in the Kinesiology Major and Honors programs. Kinesiology majors and honors students who have taken BPK (or KIN) 105 must also take BPK (or KIN) 205. For students taking both of these courses, credit will only be given for BPK (or KIN) 205.

Behavior and physiology are regulated by biological clocks, which function to synchronize the organism optimally with its environment. In this course we examine the adaptive role of clocks in animal behavior, the neural and endocrine mechanisms of daily, monthly and yearly rhythms, and the relevance of clocks, rhythms and sleep to human performance and psychopathology. We will also consider the mechanisms and functions of sleep states. Prerequisite: PSYC 201 and 280.

Students must also satisfy University degree requirements for degree completion.

Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements

Students admitted to Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV beginning in the fall 2006 term must meet writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of any degree program they may undertake. See Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements for university-wide information.

WQB Graduation Requirements

Additional Breadth 6 units outside the student’s major subject (may or may not be B-designated courses, and will likely help fulfil individual degree program requirements)

Students choosing to complete a joint major, joint honours, double major, two extended minors, an extended minor and a minor, or two minors may satisfy the breadth requirements (designated or not designated) with courses completed in either one or both program areas.

 

A minimum of six units of designated humanities breadth (B-Hum) courses must be completed. The social sciences breadth (B-Soc), science breadth (B-Sci), undesignated breadth (UB) and quantitative (Q) requirements are satisfied through completion of the behavioral neuroscience lower division required courses so no additional course work is required. As well, the writing intensive requirement is satisfied by the completion of required courses PSYC 201W and 300 W. For more information, see www.sfu.ca/ugcr.

Residency Requirements and Transfer Credit

  • At least half of the program's total units must be earned through Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV study.
