Minor in Cognitive Neuroscience


Description
The objective of the Cognitive Neuroscience minor is to provide training through coursework and research experience aimed at enhancing students' understanding of the structure and operation of the nervous system and its contribution to behavior and cognition. Through coursework and research experience, students will gain knowledge of contemporary neuroscience techniques, and learn to critically evaluate neuroscience research discoveries. Students who engage in research will acquire laboratory skills, as well as experience in data analysis and presentation.

Requirements
All minors must meet with a Cognitive Neuroscience faculty member who will advise them on the requirements for the minor. The faculty member must sign the minor form. 
To complete the minor, students must earn a 2.5 GPA.
