Advising FAQ

Is there a GPA requirement to graduate with a Neuroscience Minor?

Yes.  In accordance with College policy, you must have a GPA of at least 2.000 in the courses that comprise the minor.

Can I have more than one minor?

Do I have to do an independent study for the neuroscience minor?

An independent study is not required for completion of the neuroscience minor.  However, if you are interested in conducting a Bachelor's Essay to complete the research requirement, you might want to consider doing an independent study in the spring semester of your junior year to try out a lab before committing to a year-long project in your senior year.
