This field is highly interdisciplinary with scientists and engineers from many different backgrounds using multidisciplinary experimental approaches. The program purpose is to provide an overview and in-depth study in biological neuroscience with the foundation required to pursue advanced study in neuroscience, professional programs, and/or to seek employment in this diverse field.

HASS Core Requirements

HASS Core Overview

School of Science undergraduates must successfully complete 24 credits of HASS courses. If you are a School of Science Major, the Science Hub can help you plan your HASS Core! Humanities and Social Sciences course areas include the following:

Math/Science Core Requirements

  1. All students at RPI must take 20-24 credits as their Math/Science Core (usually defined as Calc I, II, and 4 intro Science classes). DegreeWorks makes this clear – there is a section called Math/Science Core.
  2. Students can bring in as many AP math and science courses as they have the scores for, but if they are over 8 credits of Math/Science APs, then they are not supposed to be able to transfer in more classes to meet their Core (although they can transfer in courses to their major requirements or as free electives). See a couple of examples below.
