Hi Annette, One possibility is that students preparing for the Physical Therapy program could take the 400-level behavioral neuroscience course as part of the BA or BS requirement, then in the DPT program, they could take Neuroanatomy, which is essentially how you laid it out. It means more credits are required, which impacts the "selling point" so I am not completely sure of the ramifications in the long run. I'm also not sure about the OT program. The psych major requires Behavioral Neuroscience and the OT program requires it as well, so I don't know what would happen if we (psych) pulled back there and no longer counted it for both--I'm not even sure we can do that, it may be solely up to the OT program whether they count it or not. Now I'm not sure I'm expressing myself clearly! But it helps to discuss it like this--it allows me to think about some of the possible outcomes, so thanks! Carol Carol L.

I have seen masters programs in psyhcology where one can complete requirements for a doctoral program while in that master's program; and I have seen these units "count" towards a master's program. They are considered 'electives', so to speak. Here then is my question: if they don't take the neuroanatomy class just once, to satisfy separate requirements in each program, then what would they take to satisfy the requirement? For example, can you require the neuroanatomy class for the BA and then a different course for the grad level program? If so, what? Students who begin the grad program then would have to have the neuroanatomy in their background; and if they don't have it would have to take it in the grad program, but would already have a BA in that case. Am I expressing myself sufficiently clearly?
