The Neuroscience minor takes an interdisciplinary approach to exploring the fundamentals of the brain from the perspectives of biology, chemistry, philosophy, and psychology. The Neuroscience minor is available to students across campus, regardless of academic background. For example, students in the arts might investigate the neural mechanisms behind the appreciation of music, while those pursuing pre-health majors could explore how biochemistry informs our understanding of behavior.
