Neuroscience
This course provides an introduction to the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Fundamental concepts and topics in neuroscience will be discussed using molecular/cellular, behavioral and/or cognitive frameworks; clinically relevant conditions (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders) will also be explored. Methods and techniques used by neuroscientists in research laboratories and clinical settings will be used to understand how neuroscience knowledge is constructed.
This course introduces major topics and techniques used by behavioral neuroscientists to study the relationship between the brain and behavior. Content may explore motivated behaviors, stress, learning and memory, control of movement, sleep and circadian rhythms, and preclinical models of psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.

This lecture and laboratory course utilizes electrical recordings from a variety of invertebrates to build upon topics discussed in NEUR 208, illustrating the principles of nervous system communication in sensory and motor systems. The course will also include the roles of hypothesis testing, models, data analysis, and the scientific method in understanding how experimental data can lead to knowledge of nervous system function.

This seminar course examines topics related to the neuroeconomics of choice. Topics may include cognitive effort, temporal discounting, overconfidence, risk sensitivity, anchoring, and prospect theory. A significant portion of the course consists of student-led discussion of readings examining these topics. Readings focus on scholarly works featuring psychological and neurobiological perspectives.
Non-Departmental
Students in this course undertake a significant off-campus experiential learning opportunity, typically with a business, non-profit, governmental, or community-based organization. The internship links students’ interests with the acquisition of knowledge in an applied work setting. Through direct observation, participation, and reflection, students explore and assess career skills and strengths; critically examine the values, structure, and leadership of the internship organization; and identify and practice professional behaviors in the workplace. The course is graded on a credit/no credit basis and is administered by the Office of Career and Leadership Development, which establishes guidelines for summer internships and reviews and approves enrollment in this course. Credit earned in this course may not be applied to undergraduate degrees at the University of the South. Students may earn no more than one such credit during a summer term and the course may be repeated no more than two times (three credits maximum, none of which may apply to an undergraduate degree).
An interdisciplinary, project-based learning course focused on exploring and promoting diversity and inclusion within the STEM community (STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Students and instructors collaborate to investigate issues related to belonging in STEM on campus and beyond by evaluating scientific literature on diversity and inclusion within STEM fields, developing tools and approaches, and sharing findings with the community. This course is intended for students interested in pursuing a STEM major.

Philosophy
Topics and themes in philosophy related to central questions of philosophy: Is there a meaning to human life? What can we know? What is the nature of reality? And how should we live? These questions are addressed through a rigorous examination of philosophical texts, works of literature, films, and contemporary issues.
