Neuroscience represents an emerging integrative scientific discipline that seeks to: (1) better understand nervous system structure and function, and (2) use this knowledge to better understand mental processing and behavior. Students earning a Neuroscience minor will be introduced to a variety of perspectives on the field of neuroscience. These perspectives include neurobiology, evolution, theories of mind, behavioral neuroscience, psychopharmacology, computational neuroscience, animal behavior and perception.
The neuroscience minor may be an attractive addition to a major in natural science, computer science, social science, or humanities, and it should enable students to address issues and dilemmas in their major field from a neuroscience perspective. It will also better prepare students who are considering graduate study in fields impacted by neuroscience, such as the health professions, counseling, education, computer science, social work and the law.
