Advising Faculty
Neuroscience advising faculty provide academic guidance for students pursuing a neuroscience major or minor. The Neuroscience Advisor assists students in designing, planning, and completing their programs of study. The Psychology Department Liaison and Biology Department Liaison are also available for initial consultations with psychology and biology majors, respectively. Contact one of the neuroscience advising faculty if you are interested in discussing the neuroscience program. Please see the neuroscience advising faculty statement on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
