A minor in Neuroscience is considered an interdisciplinary minor with course selections in Biology, Psychology, Philosophy and Veterinary Integrative Biosciences. Please be aware that each course selection may have prerequisite requirements that must be met.
To apply for admission to the Minor in Neuroscience, please visit the Texas A&M Institute for Neuroscience website. A Neuroscience Minor Approval Form will need to be completed and must be signed by the NRSC academic advisor and then submitted to your major advisor. The minor must be declared before the student has completed 90 hours.
The coursework listed represents various sub-disciplines within the field of Neuroscience and would give the student an overall knowledge base fitting a minor in Neuroscience. No grade below a C is acceptable to meet minor requirements.
