Neuroscience Major

The neuroscience major is designed for students who wish to pursue a career or graduate studies in the field of neuroscience. This major provides a foundation for pursuing graduate studies in neuroscience with a potential goal of conducting neuroscience research in academia or industry. Included in the major is a choice of two concentrations: cellular and molecular neuroscience; or behavioral and cognitive neuroscience. This major also prepares students for other employment opportunities in neuroscience, such as entry-level research positions in the pharmaceutical industry or at research institutions. Students are required to choose among three options for minor: integrative science minor; pre-professional minor; or chemistry, physics, or mathematics minor with the recommendation that students take an additional eight credits from outside of the minor department. Students will be assigned advisors within the department where their concentration resides. Neuroscience majors in either concentration may take courses that require BI 112 as a prerequisite, without having taken BI 112, with the permission of instructor. This program will be administered by a joint advisory committee consisting of members from both the Biology and Psychological Science Departments.

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Minor

Prepares students in any discipline at NMU to develop their English language abilities so that they can teach English to students who have not learned it as their first or native language.

Eligibility for Minor: The TESOL minor is appropriate for students in any major: opportunities for teaching English arise internationally within a variety of academic disciplines and educational, corporate, governmental, and service organizations. Students will need to work closely with an advisor and create a plan for courses and their internship. To better understand the language-learning experience of their students and adapt to communities whose first language is not English, students who choose this minor must become proficient in a modern language other than English at the 200 level by the time they complete the minor.
