Minor in
Neuroscience
The neuroscience minor introduces you to the rapidly expanding field that seeks an in-depth understanding of the brain and nervous system. This minor is a great compliment to any major field of study if you wish to understand the neurological underpinnings of complex phenomena such as behavior, cognition and emotion.
As a neuroscience minor at 麻豆区
you might take:
The study of human behavior. Neurological mechanisms, individual differences, learning, dysfunctional behavior and social processes. (PSYC 101)
Survey of Psychology
The study of human behavior. Neurological mechanisms, individual differences, learning, dysfunctional behavior and social processes. (PSYC 101)
An introduction to the fundamental principles of biology including the origin and diversity of living things; the molecular, cellular and genetic bases of life; the structure and function of organisms; their evolution and ecology. (BIOL 210)
Principles of Biology
An introduction to the fundamental principles of biology including the origin and diversity of living things; the molecular, cellular and genetic bases of life; the structure and function of organisms; their evolution and ecology. (BIOL 210)
Computer-based explorations of large biological datasets to test hypotheses in ecology, evolution and genetics. As a project-based course, learn fundamental concepts and methods in bioinformatics, gain practical experience with bioinformatics tools and develop basic skills in the collection and presentation of big data. (BIOL 340)
