Neuroscience Major: Course Analysis

I am still very interested in pursuing the Neuroscience major, so I intend on taking many natural science courses as well as social science courses, including those in the department of psychology, in the future. Taking this into consideration, I plan to shape my Spring semester class schedule around which courses will allow me to fulfill a part of my intended major and will fulfill other minimum graduation requirements such as the Humanities requirement. Regarding my intended minor, which must be a Social science or Humanity, I am fairly confident that I will minor in Economics; I am currently enrolled in Intro to Microeconomics. However, due to scheduling constraints, I do not intend on taking another Economics course in the Spring. Instead,

As a high school student, I thoroughly enjoyed Spanish class, and I found that the ability to speak and think in a different language is very beneficial to possess. Similarly, I think that continuing to develop my Spanish proficiency would be beneficial in the future. When I took the Spanish placement exam, I scored a 681, which placed me into Spanish 230.

This section touches upon psychological topics and integrates them into a contemporary and extensive look on human behavior and its portrayal in different forms of media. Since I plan on majoring in Neuroscience, which requires proficient knowledge of Psychology, this FS class would introduce me to topics I will undoubtedly cover in the future. If I were not able to enroll in this class, I would choose to take section six: Music and the Mind. Even though though this is a course that would not relate to my major, nor fulfills any requirements except the FS 102 requirement, it appeals to the my love for music. As a twelve-year pianist, I have always enjoyed listening to and playing a variety of music. I would like to learn more about what is described in the course description, viz. the development of music throughout history and the emotions behind different genres and styles of music. The other two sections would suffice, however, if I could not be placed into either of my other
