As such, the content of this course should widen the perspective of psychology majors and provide them with an additional tool for understanding human behavior. By demonstrating the close relationship between biology and psychology, I hope to encourage psychology majors to consider biology an integral part of their training in much the same way that biology majors elect courses in the physical sciences to augment their understanding of biology.

Auditors are also welcome.
In the process the student is introduced to disciplines customarily taught as biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology and genetics. We use a standard introductory textbook, but selected topics are considered in more detail, using more advanced textbooks and journal articles as sources. Laboratory exercises are integrated with the material offered in lecture and are designed to fill only the scheduled laboratory period. Occasional exceptions require additional time, but they can be scheduled at the convenience of the student. Return to the topics courses for science majors list.
