Neuroscience MinorMeet the Faculty
The neuroscience minor combines courses in biology, psychology, and philosophy for an integrated study of how the brain functions and the biological contributions to behavior. The program is interdisciplinary with a variety of topical and methodological perspectives. Students aspiring to graduate studies in neuroscience may combine the minor with a major in biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, marine biology, or psychology. Eligibility RequirementsBecause prerequisites will be waived for admission to upper-level Psychology and Biology courses, students must apply to register as a Neuroscience Minor. Eligibility requirements include:
Majors from another discipline may petition the Program Director for admission to the minor with additional requirements including:
