Behavioral Neuroscience Minor

Coordinator: Shannon Kundey

The Behavioral Neuroscience minor examines the biological foundations of behavior, focusing on how the brain and nervous system influence actions, emotions, and cognitive processes. Students will study the interplay between neural mechanisms and behaviors in various contexts, including learning, memory, and mental health, providing a foundation for careers in psychology, neuroscience research, or clinical settings.
