The behavioral neuroscience minor allows all students, including those majoring in biology and psychology, the opportunity to complement their major plans of study with an interdisciplinary minor in behavioral neuroscience.

Students are required to take one intermediate course followed by four behavioral neuroscience core courses, two from each of the parent departments of the discipline (i.e., psychology and biology).
