Neuroscience Minor

Meet 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.
