Minor in Neuroscience

You will gain fundamental knowledge of neuroscience concepts. The interdisciplinary nature of the coursework echoes the nature of the field itself; you will select courses from the natural, social, and computer sciences. Neuroscientists not only require foundational knowledge of molecular, cellular, and systems neuroscience, but they should also understand the behavioral significance and appreciate how computational work and imaging techniques can aid in clarifying normal and abnormal functioning of these fundamental processes.

• Acquire foundational knowledge of the basic biological foundations of the nervous system, from the cellular through systems levels.
• Understand the effects of basic neurological function on behavior, including cognition.
• Gain an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of the field of neuroscience.

Because the curriculum within this minor may overlap with some degree requirements, no more than 2 courses fulfilling Neuroscience Minor requirements may count towards the requirements of a student’s major or other minor.
