The Neuroscience graduate program promotes interdisciplinary research that crosses traditional discipline and department boundaries, while at the same time providing a strong foundation in the core concepts of neuroscience. The graduate program in Neuroscience provides an intensive, multi-disciplinary education in neuroscience. Our core curriculum provides instruction about molecular, cellular, systems, cognitive, and translational neuroscience, and diseases of the nervous system. At all stages of instruction, we integrate skills that are essential for successful, independent research careers in neuroscience. Research in our program encompasses genes, molecules, cells, networks, systems, and behavior. A wide variety of experimental approaches are represented and used in our faculty trainers' laboratories. All interested applicants should apply through the Apply link on the Graduate School website. Students receive their Ph.D.s after satisfying Program requirements and completing a significant body of original research.
