Overview
Offered by the Department of Biology, the Minor in Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology is meant for students who wish to acquire basic knowledge of neuroscience at the molecular and cellular level. After completion of the foundational courses, students may choose upper-level courses in their particular area of interest.
Students whose programs have a significant neurobiology component may not declare a Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology minor. This includes:
- Neuroscience: Cellular and Molecular
