Major in Psychobiology
Students of both biology and psychology may wish to consider the joint major in psychobiology administered by the two departments. Psychobiology draws from subject matter in the physical sciences, social sciences, and mathematics as well as the parent disciplines of biology and psychology. It serves as an excellent preparation for a career in psychobiology and graduate work in either of the parent disciplines.
