Minor in Neuroscience (2024)

Offered by:Science

Degree:Bachelor of Science

Program Requirement:

“Please note: this Minor is only available to students studying in the faculty of Science.”

This Minor is intended to provide students with a basic understanding of how the nervous system functions. The Minor is composed of 24-25 credits: 9 required and 15-16 complementary. For the 15-16 complementary credits, at least 12-13 must be from outside the student's home department and at least 6 of the 12-13 must be at the 400 or 500 level.

Note 1: A maximum of 6-7 credits can be counted for both the student's primary program and for the Minor in Neuroscience.

Complementary Courses (16 credits)

15-16 credits selected as follows:

- At least 12-13 credits must be from outside the student's home department.

- At least 6 of the 12-13 credits have to be at the 400 or 500 level.

0-10 credits from the following list of 200- and 300-level courses:

* Students may select ANAT 212 or BIOC 212 or BIOL 201.

** Students may select either BIOL 306 or PHGY 314.

Note 2: Since CHEM 212 is a prerequisite/corequisite for NSCI 200 and BIOL 200, students must take CHEM 212 if they have not yet done so.
