Neuroscience Minor

The Neuroscience Minor is now being advising through the Department of Biology. Please contact advising@bio.tamu.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

The Neuroscience Minor, is considered an interdisciplinary minor with course selections in the Departments of Biology, Psychology, Philosophy and Veterinary Integrative Biosciences. Please be aware that each course selection below may have prerequisite requirements that must be met. The coursework (15 credits) listed represents various sub-disciplines within the field of Neuroscience and would give the student an overall knowledge base fitting a minor in Neuroscience.

To apply to declare a Neuroscience Minor, the student must complete a Neuroscience Minor Approval Form (linked below). Upon approval of the addition of the minor, the Neuroscience Minor Approval Form must be signed by the Neuroscience Minor academic advisor and then submitted by the student to the major advisor to be officially added to the student’s curriculum.  The minor must be declared before the student has completed 95 hours.
