The Neuroscience graduate program fosters cross-disciplinary research that transcends conventional academic boundaries while ensuring a solid grounding in fundamental neuroscience principles. This intensive, multidisciplinary program offers comprehensive training spanning molecular, cellular, systems, cognitive, and translational neuroscience, along with studies of nervous system disorders. Throughout the curriculum, we emphasize developing critical skills for pursuing independent neuroscience research careers. Our research spans multiple scales - from genes and molecules to cells, neural circuits, systems, and behavior - employing diverse experimental methodologies across faculty laboratories. Prospective students should submit applications via the Graduate School website's Apply portal. Doctoral degrees are awarded upon fulfilling program requirements and producing substantial original research contributions.
