Semester Hours: 18-21

Multiple disciplines have begun to incorporate neuroscientific methods to better understand human behavior (e.g., cognitive neuroscience, neuroeconomics, etc.). A minor in neuroscience will help prepare students for graduate studies in the neurosciences, as well as help students to be savvy consumers in careers advocating "brain-based" practices.
