Minor in Neuroscience

The Neuroscience Program encourages students from other disciplines to minor in Neuroscience.

The minor in Neuroscience requires:

  • Passing one of the core courses NRSC 560 OR 588 (4 units)
  • 5 additional units in courses that are cross-listed in NRSC. The NRSC Colloquium course NRSC 695f is valid for the minor.

Nine credits in Neuroscience are required. The remainder of the units may be selected from Table 3 in the Neuroscience Coursework Guidelines.

Students planning to minor in Neuroscience must have at least one member of the Neuroscience GIDP on their Comprehensive Exam Committee. Successful completion of 9 units of approved coursework in Neuroscience constitutes passage of the written comprehensive examination in the minor area.
