Students may apply for a minor in Neuroscience once they have
completed 60 semester credit hours and have a 2.0 GPA. However,
they may take minor coursework at any time as long as they meet the
prerequisites. Minor certification forms are available in the
Neuroscience Office, McCoy 110.
A minor
in Neuroscience requires 16 credits in Neuroscience, with at least 13 at or above the 300-level. Courses
needed to satisfy the minor must include Neuro 301 or 302; three (3) credits selected from Psych 384,
Psych 390, or Biol 438; at least two (2) credits of Neuro 495 or
Neuro 499; and at least six (6) credits selected from the following: Neuro 403, Neuro 404, and Neuro 430.
Up to five (5) credits of Neuro 495
or 499
may be included. Upon the approval of the student's advisor, a
student with a minor in Neuroscience may include 500-level courses in the
minor program, provided the student meets the graduate study
