The neuroscience minor helps students understand brain science from different
disciplinary perspectives. Students must complete 23 hours for the minor including BIOL 116,
CHEM 111 and CHEM 132. 15 additional hours must be selected from the courses listed below.
(Note: prerequisites for some of these courses may increase the total number of hours.) The
minor must include a minimum of 9 hours at the 300-400 level of which 6 hours must be from
outside the student’s major department. Appropriate special topics courses may be substituted
