Why minor in neuroscience at Regis?
The Neuroscience Minor at Regis College complements any major program, allowing students from a wide range of majors, from the humanities to social work and STEM, Exercise Science and Nursing, to advance their understanding of the brain and nervous system and its connections to behavior and other biological functions. In addition, some graduate heath professional programs such as Physical and Occupational therapy require the completion of basic neuroscience coursework, which the minor in Neuroscience fulfills. Students seeking careers in human service professions, working with populations facing substance use disorder, or neurological and psychiatric disorders, can enhance career readiness with additional neuroscience background and training provided within the Regis Neuroscience minor curriculum.
