The Master of Science in Neuroscience program offers an engaging research experience that culminates in publications in respected journals, along with comprehensive training in essential research and presentation techniques. The curriculum features interconnected courses covering fundamental biomedical research topics, including cellular, developmental, systems, and behavioral neuroscience, as well as neuroanatomy and nervous system disorders. Graduates embark on diverse career paths in academia, pharmaceutical research, industry, government, policy-making, and more.

This MS program delivers extensive neuroscience knowledge and research methodologies. Alongside the traditional thesis track, Drexel provides a non-thesis option where students complete extra coursework and a literature review instead of a research project. Those aiming for advanced study can transition to the PhD program, with potential credit transfer from their master's studies.
