PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:   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.   The field of neuroscience has grown exponentially over the last twenty years, holds wide public appeal, and offers job opportunities in many sectors (e.g. teaching, research, medicine, and industries such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology). 

 

The Weber State University Neuroscience Minor was created in January 2010.  The minor includes the NEUR 2050 Introduction to Neuroscience course and a range of neuro-related courses from other disciplines (e.g.
Health Sciences, Psychology, and Zoology).

For more information on the Minor please read through the Neuroscience Minor documents.

In addition to offering the Neuroscience Minor, faculty that participate in the WSU Neuroscience Program conduct research and organize public outreach efforts (e.g Brain Awareness Week).  For more information, please contact us.

UPCOMING COURSES

Summer 2013 Courses

ONLINE NEUR 2050
Introduction to Neuroscience
3 Credits, May 6 - August 16, 2013
CRN # 11199

Course Description:

Introduction to the interdisciplinary field of neuroscience, which examines the function and dysfunction of the human and animal nervous system. The course spans the major areas of neuroscience including cellular/molecular factors, neuron physiology, brain structure and function, and medical/clinical applications. The topics addressed are critical to multiple fields of study (e.g. health sciences, psychology, and zoology) and provides the skills necessary for students to succeed in upper-division courses related to the brain and behavior. Prerequisite: none; recommend some background in basic biology, chemistry, or psychology.
