Summary
Recent recorded grades — Fall 2019: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=17 letter grades); Fall 2021: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=9 letter grades); Fall 2025: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=22 letter grades).
What you’ll be able to do
Identify how behaviors and their underlying neural substrates have evolved in response to specific environmental conditions
Discuss and explore the primary literature on the neuroendocrine underpinnings of behavior spanning from feeding to sex differences in complex social behaviors
Identify and discuss hormones, the brain, and environmental factors as they relate to behavioral evolution and biological diversity
Develop and apply critical thinking to evaluate neuroendocrinological research
Communicate effectively about concepts, theories and approaches of neuroendocrinology and behavioral research
