Students can take Supervised Research (3 credits) and Research Thesis (4 credits) up to 2 times each. However, students can only count two 3- or 4-credit research experiences from among PSYC 3955 and PSYC 4955, toward their behavioral neuroscience concentration or minor. If the Research Thesis course is taken a second time, it should be for a separate project than the first. PSYC 2955 (1 credit) does not count towards concentration or minor requirements.
