Hello,
I just received my MS in Psychology from Capella University. I want to apply for a doctorate program at another university in neuroscience but they require 11 hours of core neuroscience coursework and 3-4 hours of elective neuroscience coursework on a graduate level. I only took research methods, statistics, and evaluation courses. I never completed any type of biology or neuroscience courses.
Is there a way I can take graduate level neuroscience courses without having to apply for a degree program? I searched online but I only get information on graduate degree programs.

Thank you!

You can apply to some university programs as a non-matriculating student. Each university has their own requirements and limitations. The link above is the first link that popped up in Google, so you'll want to check at your local universities. You will also want to make sure you have sufficient research and/or lab experience if you are looking at a neuroscience program, as they rarely if ever take students that do not have prior experience because it is a competitive area of study.
