Mind, Brain, and Behavioral Sciences Track
(History and Science Concentration)
The Mind, Brain, and Behavioral Sciences track offered within the History and Science concentration aims to facilitate cross-fertilization across the neurosciences and the social sciences by offering students an opportunity to integrate serious study of the brain with thoughtful attention to the
sociocultural contact and "real world" questions raised by its study. The primary focus is on training scientifically-literate social scientists, but it will also appeal to students considering future careers in medicine or in the brain and behavioral sciences who would like to establish
a broader framework for their future inquiries and practice. Students successfully completing this track will receive their degree in History and Science and a Certificate in Neuroscience/MBB from the Standing Committee on Neuroscience.
To graduate from the MBB track in History and Science, students need to take BS 80 and three other science courses in a single field (eg. neurobiology, educational psychology); and five courses in a single historical or sociocultural area (eg. physical anthropology, history of medicine in
Africa). One additional half-course (Science B-29) is required for the MBB/Neuroscience Certificate, and students are also required to take a non-credit MBB seminar. More information may be found in the MBB study guide, which is available in the Undergraduate Office, Science Center 355.
