MBB Secondary Fields
Mind/Brain/Behavior Courses, 2008-2009
You must take two MBB elective courses, selected from the list below, as part of your secondary field requirements. The list includes relevant courses from fields that comprise the core disciplines in the undergraduate student of mind/brain/behavior. This list, which varies each year, has been updated for 2008-2009. Courses marked "not offered this year" are listed here because they will count toward the secondary field if you took them in previous years. If you take more than one course from the MBB interdisciplinary seminar list, you may count the additional one(s) toward this MBB elective requirement.
