Student Groups

Nu Rho Psi

Nu Rho Psi is Emory University’s neuroscience and behavioral biology honor society. Our mission is to recognize and promote leadership, intellectual development, and scholastic achievement in the study of neuroscience and behavior. We aim to advance the study of neuroscience within the college and increase awareness within Emory and the surrounding community. We work to stimulate academic and professional growth beyond the classroom through programs designed to enhance the regular curriculum and provide rewarding experiences and fellowship through affiliation with the society. Activities include faculty-student luncheons, social functions, lectures by esteemed members of the Neuroscience community and many other events.

Eligibility Requirements

Candidates should have completed two Neuroscience courses, at least one of which is a core class in the NBB department, and have a GPA of at least 3.5/4.0. In addition, membership is largely based on showing extracurricular interest in the fields of neuroscience and behavior and genuine interest in participating in the activities of Nu Rho Psi. Prior to applying for membership, candidates are encouraged to attend monthly meetings and events hosted by the society. Attending activities before applying to Nu Rho Psi will foster better communication among all those involved with neuroscience and behavior at Emory and enable candidates to learn more about the honor society.
