Biopsychology
Honors Program
The Honors Program in Biopsychology draws on newly emerging discoveries in such fields as behavior, the brain sciences, genetics, psychopharmacology
and many others to unravel the biology of the mind and behavior. We were awarded two grants by the National Science Foundation to support the
development of this exciting program. As all honors programs at William Paterson, biopsychology is not itself a major, but a distinctive cluster of courses that deepens, broadens and adds challenge to students' chosen majors. This
program is highly recommended for students planning graduate study, including
pre-medical/dental/veterinary/graduate nursing studies and, in general, for those
students interested in clinical or research careers. As an honors program, biopsychology is designed for highly motivated individuals.

Life
Science and Environmental Ethics Honors Program
Life Science and Environmental Ethics Honors: This track of the
University Honors Program is located in the Biology Department. It
consists of a set of courses that expand understanding of the process of
scientific investigation, exposes the student to major ethical systems and
explores the interface among ethics, science, and law. The experience
culminates in an internship with an agency that deals with ethical issues in
the lives of humans, animals, or with human/environment interaction.
For further information, contact Dr. Karen
Swanson, Coordinator, at 973-720-2589.
