The Neuroscience minor is designed for the student interested in exploring the brain, nervous system and behavior. It is geared toward students planning on pursuing graduate study in Biology, Psychology or Neuroscience or for those with a serious interest in the field. Since graduate programs in neuroscience vary from school to school, this minor will not necessarily meet all entrance requirements. Students are advised to check with the requirements of the individual graduate program.
