The Undergraduate Minor in Neuroscience at Princeton is designed for Princeton University undergraduate students with a strong interest in the brain but whose primary studies are in a different subject area.

Requirements (courses cannot be taken P/D/F)

To complete the minor, you must complete six (6) courses.

  • Two core courses:
    • NEU 200 - Functional Neuroanatomy OR NEU 201 Fundamentals of Neuroscience
      AND
    • NEU 202 Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Four (4) electives
    • Must come from 3 out of 4 subject areas
    • No course doubling within the elective areas
    • You can only use NEU courses and electives one time (in one category)
    • See the NEU Electives page for more details

Note: If you take NEU 200 and decide to major in Neuroscience, then you must still take NEU 201 and you will not earn credit for it. If you are not using NEU 200 as a core course (that is, you took NEU 201 instead), then NEU 200 can count as an elective.
