Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology | Faculty of Science Simon Fraser University Calendar | Fall 2024
Behavioural Neuroscience Major
The Department of Psychology and the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology co-operate to offer this program leading to a Bachelor of Science in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences or the Faculty of Science.
A committee consisting of three members from each department (undergraduate program chairs, department advisors, and behavioural neuroscience co-chairs) and one student representative administers the program. The committee is co-chaired by a member of each department.
Admission Requirements
There is no direct admission from high school into this program. Students admitted from high school or transferring to Simon Fraser University from another post-secondary institution are normally admitted as intended Behavioural Neuroscience majors into the Faculty of Science or Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
Once at SFU, students apply for approval into the Behavioural Neuroscience major program through the internal transfer process as outlined below.
Approval is competitive. An approval average is established each term, depending on spaces available. Students must excel in the university science and psychology courses required for this major to meet the competitive approval average.
For students transferring from another post-secondary institution, transfer courses will count towards the total units required for the major, but grades in these courses will not be used towards the program approval GPA.
Students must complete a minimum of 5 required courses at SFU to form the basis of their program approval GPA for entry into the Behavioural Neuroscience major program.
Internal Transfer
- Applicants will be approved based on a competitive grade point average (GPA) calculated over 5 or more required courses taken at SFU.
- Students may apply as soon as they have completed the required SET 1 courses.
- Students who are not admissible after completing SET 1 can reapply to the major program after they have completed 4 or more courses from SET 2.
- All SET 1 and 2 courses completed at SFU will be included in the approval GPA.
- A C- grade or better is required in all courses except for PSYC 201W where a minimum grade of C is required.
SET 1
Students complete both of
- BPK 142 - Introduction to Kinesiology (3)
- PSYC 201W - Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology (4)
and two courses from
- BISC 101 - General Biology (4)
- CHEM 121 - General Chemistry and Laboratory I (4)
- MATH 154 - Calculus I for the Biological Sciences (3)
- PHYS 101 - Physics for the Life Sciences (3)
and one course from
- PSYC 100 - Introduction to Psychology I (3)
- PSYC 102 - Introduction to Psychology II (3)
SET 2
Students must complete
- Courses listed in SET 1 not yet taken
- PSYC 210 - Introduction to Data Analysis in Psychology (4) or STAT 270 - Introduction to Probability and Statistics (3)
and, if necessary, additional courses from
- BPK 205 - Introduction to Human Physiology (3)
- BPK 207 - Sensorimotor Control and Learning (3)
- CHEM 122 - General Chemistry II
- CHEM 281 - Organic Chemistry I (4)
- MATH 155 - Calculus II for the Biological Sciences (3)

- PHYS 102 - Physics for the Life Sciences II (3)
- PSYC 221 - Introduction to Cognitive Psychology (3)
- PSYC 280 - Introduction to Biological Psychology (3)
Application Procedure
Students should complete a program approval form available on the Behavioural Neuroscience website and submit it to the BPK or Psychology advisor by June 1 for fall term approval, October 1 for spring term approval, or February 1 for summer term approval. Students who do not meet the competitive approval GPA upon completion of all SET 1 and SET 2 courses should make an appointment with the program advisor to discuss alternatives.
Program Requirements
Students complete 120 units, as specified below.
Lower Division Requirements
Students complete all of the following 58 units.
Biology
Introduction to the molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms of living organisms (microorganisms, plants, animals). Lecture and lab topics include cell structure and function, flow of genetic information, enzyme function, metabolism, whole organism form and function (circulation, gas exchange, nutrition, osmoregularion). BISC 101 and 102 can be taken in either order. Prerequisite: Biology 12 (or equivalent) with a minimum grade of C (or BISC 100 with a minimum grade of C-, or BISC 113 with a minimum grade of C+, or BPK 105 with a minimum grade of C+, or HSCI 100 with a minimum grade of C+); and Chemistry 12 (or equivalent) with a minimum grade of C (or CHEM 111 with a minimum grade of C-). Breadth-Science.

Behaviour and physiology are regulated by biological clocks, which function to synchronize the organism optimally with its environment. In this course we examine the adaptive role of clocks in animal behaviour, the neural and endocrine mechanisms of daily, monthly and yearly rhythms, and the relevance of clocks, rhythms and sleep to human performance and psychopathology. We will also consider the mechanisms and functions of sleep states. Prerequisite: PSYC 201 and 280.
