The outline below for the Neuroscience minor is for the Classes of 2009 and
forward. For requirements for the Class of 2008, please consult the
Neuroscience Steering Committee.
The Minor in Neuroscience is administered by the Department of Psychological
& Brain Sciences and is overseen by the Neuroscience Steering Committee
[For 2007-2008: Prof. Jeffrey Taube (PBS), Chair; David Bucci (PBS); Leslie
Henderson (Physiology)]. It is intended to provide formal recognition for
students who have concentrated some of their academic work in the
interdisciplinary area of Neuroscience. The courses come from the Departments
of Biological Sciences and Psychological and Brain Sciences. The minor can
accommodate majors in either department as well as majors in all other
departments. The minor requires six courses: one prerequisite, two required
courses, and three electives. One elective must be at the 50s level or
higher. Many of the courses may require permission of the instructor in
addition to prerequisite courses.
