Medicine (MD, Biomedical, and Professional Studies)
The PhD in Neuroscience provides a vibrant research component leading to published scientific work in reputable journals, as well as training in the panoply of research and presentation skills required to conduct and disseminate the research. Students are provided with a curriculum of integrated courses that include the essentials for biomedical research, spanning the cellular, developmental, systems, and behavioral neurosciences, as well as neuroanatomy, injury, and disease of the nervous system. Upon completing this program, students pursue careers in academic research, teaching, pharmaceutical research, industry, government, academic administration, public policy, and beyond.
The MS program provides a broad background in neuroscience and the techniques used in neuroscience research. MS students may choose to write a primary research paper or a literature review in partial fulfillment of the degree. Students who wish to continue their graduate training after the MS degree may apply to the PhD program and their credits may be applied to the doctoral program.
