Students must earn minimum grades of C- or P for all courses that apply toward the minor.

A neuroscience minor may be relevant to non-neuroscience majors seeking an understanding of the nervous system as a complement to their majors.

Note(s) on Requirements


Transfer of Credit Toward the Minor


One course of transfer credit may count toward the 300-level neuroscience lecture course requirement. Prior approval from the department of the course as equivalent to a neuroscience course at Oberlin is required for neuroscience coursework taken away from Oberlin to be applied to the neuroscience minor.

300-Level Neuroscience Lecture Courses


Return to the summary of requirements.

These electives are for advanced study of specific subfields introduced in NSCI 201. The majority of 300-level lecture courses are associated with a laboratory that introduces advanced techniques. The lab courses, which do not count toward the neuroscience minor, are independent courses that can be taken in other semesters.
