Laboratory or literature investigations of problems of current interest in the medical sciences.

For well-qualified undergraduates who receive departmental permission, two programs for individual interdisciplinary majors exist within the College of Medicine: one in neurobiological sciences and the other in biochemistry and molecular biology. Both of these programs are offered in cooperation with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The former involves course work in the Department of Neuroscience and related disciplines and the latter involves course work in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Both programs involve independent laboratory research and additional elective courses. Applications should be made to the concerned departments in the sophomore or early junior year.
