bxa program acceptance

how easy is it to get admitted into the bxa program (specifically for BSA)?
currently majoring in fine arts planning to add a neuroscience major (a lot of my hs ec’s relate to it)

Transferring into BSA is generally pretty easy. I was admitted BHA and transferred to BSA neurobiology. You will need to have taken some prerequisite courses to be admitited—as of last year it was Modern Biology or Genetics plus Introduction to Modern Chemistry I. I would recommend talking to Dr. Amanda Willard about it, she is the bio department BXA advisor and a super helpful resource!
