Neuroscience, B.S.
These are suggested courses which fulfill some degree requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience. Transfer associate’s degree programs and courses vary among the 23 VCCS colleges. Be sure to consult your community college academic advisor each semester to make sure you are on track to graduate in an A.A. or A.A.& S or A.S. degree.
Students who have taken ENG 111 spring 2024 or prior will receive credit for ENGH 101 (Composition). Students who take ENG 111 after spring 2024 will receive ENGH— (English elective), which does not satisfy Mason Core.
ENG 125 will transfer to fulfill the Mason Core literature requirement until 2025.
