Minor in Neuroethics
Main content
Minor in Neuroethics
Offered by the Neuroscience & Behavioral Biology program, the Neuroethics Minor is a multidisciplinary program designed to complement any major. It provides scholarly preparation in the ethical and social implications of neuroscientific progress.
The minor requires three (3) neuroethics content courses, one (1) brain block course, and two (2) electives.
Only one (1) course for the minor can be double-counted for a college major. For example, if you are majoring in NBB, the required NBB 301 course satisfies the minor's brain block requirement, so none of your NBB electives can be counted as neuroethics foundation or elective courses.
