In summary, there are numerous undergraduate programs available for students interested in neurobiology. These programs typically focus on cell and molecular biology and may require further graduate study to specialize in neurobiology. While undergraduate majors in this field may not differ significantly, it is important to choose a program that allows for research opportunities and prepares students for a PhD program. Some suggested programs include those at MIT, Brown, UCSD, Duke, Wesleyan, University of Washington, UC Irvine, Johns Hopkins, and UCLA. According to a survey by the Society for Neuroscience, there are currently 27 undergraduate programs in neurobiology in the United States.

undergrad isn't that special. most people take all of the same classes. even a masters program is breadth, not depth. your undergrad doesn't matter, as long as you can get into a phd program that let's you do the research you want.

I cannot definitively answer this question as I do not have access to all the information about the courses offered by colleges. However, based on the link provided, it appears that the Major in Neurobiology is only offered in four colleges according to the College Board database. It is possible that there are other colleges that offer a similar program under a different name or that have not been listed in this particular database. It would be important to conduct further research to confirm the availability of this major in other colleges. Additionally, it is important to note that the availability of a major can change over time as colleges update their program offerings.
