Program overview:
Neuroscience, the scientific study of the brain and its functions, is a field on the frontier of science. Neuroscientists study such issues as the molecular and cellular basis of neuronal function, nervous system structure, how systems of neurons process information, the way in which functions are represented in the brain, the evolutionary development of the nervous system, neural correlates of behavior, and mechanisms of nervous system disorders.
The Neuroscience minor at Morehouse College was designed to encourage students to approach their studies of human behavior from an interdisciplinary perspective. Completing a minor in Neuroscience distinguishes you for having pursued your interest in the sciences beyond the courses and electives required for your major.
Training in neuroscience will be useful for many careers in the 21st century, including anthropology, biology, journalism, law, medicine, neuroscience, occupational therapy, pharmacology, physical therapy, psychiatry, psychology, public health, and veterinary medicine, to name a few.
Department policies and/or General Education modifications:
- A grade of C or higher is required in all Neuroscience courses for the minor to be considered satisfactorily complete.
