The coordinator of the minor will make that determination in consultation with the chair of Foreign Languages and the Linguistics Minor Committee. 4. Electives (4-9 credit hours)* Select either courses from the preceding areas 2 and 3 not countedfor those areas, or in combination with (either or both of) thefollowing LING courses: • LING 4830 - Directed Readings in Linguistics (1-3) • LING 4900 - Variable Topics in Linguistics (1-3) Other courses (seminars, etc.) may be accepted in the Electives group on an individual basis, as approved by the coordinator for the minor. * Students should select elective courses as appropriate to meet the 21 credit hour requirement. Nine hours of elective credit will be necessary if a student has substituted courses in a second or foreign language in the Language Structures requirement. 5. Capstone Course (3 credit hours) • LING 4830 - Directed Readings in Linguistics (1-3) (3 credit hours required) or • LING 4990 - Centering Experience (3) Up to three hours requiredfor a student's major or another minor (excluding strands in the BIS degree) may be counted toward the 21 hours requiredfor the linguistics minor, consistent with the policies and requirements of the department, minor or program in question. Students may take no more than eight hours with the same prefix (beyo n d the Fo u n da tio ns co u rs e). Neuroscience Minor Program Coordinator: Dr. Matthew Schmolesky Location: Social Science 356 Telephone: 801-626-8745 Neuroscience is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the central and peripheral nervous systems in an effort to understand the biological basis of behavior, thinking, emotion, memory, and perception. Credit Hour Requirements: A minimum of 19 credit hours as described below. Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in courses used toward the Minor (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable). Course Requirements for Minor For advisement contact the Neuroscience Program Coordinator who will help you select courses which will compliment your major. To complete the Neuroscience Minor, the student must at complete a minimum of 19 credit hours as follows: a) Introduction to Neuroscience (NEUR205o),b) one course each from the three content areas (Cognitive/Behavioral, Cellular/Molecular, and Clinical/Medical), c) a Capstone Experience course, and d) 3 credits of electives. Students that have not already completed ZOOL 1110 - Principles of Zoology I as part of their major will also need to complete this course before taking the Cellular and Molecular area requirement. Thus, completion of the Neuroscience Minor may require 23 credit hours for some students. With approval of the Neuroscience Director and the applicable Department Chair, students may apply a maximum of 4 credits from one of the required courses of either Area 3 or Area 5 towards both their minor and major to offset the number of prerequisites necessary for courses in these areas. Only one course total may be applied to the minor and major, and only after the appropriate approvals have been received. 1. Foundation Course • NEUR 2050 - Introduction to Neuroscience (3) 2. Cognitive and Behavioral Area: 1 of the below • PSY 2730 - Biopsychology (3) (Prereq: PSY 1010 or NEUR 2050) • PSY 3730 - Perception (3) (Prereq: PSY 1010 or NEUR 2050) • PSY 3710 - Physiological Psychology (3) (Prereq: PSY2730 or NEUR 2050) 3. Cellular and Molecular Area: 1 of the below • ZOOL 3200 - Cell Biology (4) (Prereq: ZOOL 1110) • ZOOL 3300 - Genetics (4) (Prereq: ZOOL 1110) • ZOOL 4100 - Vertebrate Embryology (4) (Prereq: ZOOL 1110 and ZOOL 1120, or approval of instructor) 4. Clinical and Medical Area: 1 of the below • HTHS 2240 - Introduction to Pharmacology (3) or • HTHS 3240 - Introduction to Pharmacology (3) • PSY 3740 - Drugs and Behavior (3) • ZOOL 2200 - Human Physiology (4) 5. Capstone Course/Integrative Experience: 3 credits from the options below To satisfy the capstone requirement, the student must completes credits of upper-division, a) Directed Readings, b) Research, or c) a senior-level seminar course. Regardless of which option is taken, the student must complete a ~20 page paper and an oral report that demonstrates integration of the many neuroscience disciplines and concepts (eg cellular/ molecular, neural circuits/systems, cognitive/behavioral, and clinical/ medical). Students must complete NEUR 2050 and two other required Minor courses before attempting to fulfill the Area 5 Capstone requirement. In addition, the Neuroscience Director and the faculty mentor must approve in writing in advance the course chosen by the student to complete this requirement for the Weber State University 2012-2013 Catalog
