Deciphering the brain remains one of science's most profound challenges. How does our nervous system enable sensing, movement, learning, decision-making, memory, and cognition? What genetic and molecular mechanisms construct these neural pathways? Through what synaptic processes do neurons exchange and retain information? What disruptions occur in conditions like autism, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's? How can we develop accurate models of neurons and neural networks to advance our comprehension? Neuroscience PhD candidates at NYU tackle these questions using state-of-the-art techniques from genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, electrophysiology, microscopy, computer science, data analytics, and mathematics. This platform provides information about NYU's neuroscience graduate programs.
Our program emerges from two collaborative hubs situated nearby: the Center for Neural Science (CNS) and the Neuroscience Institute (NI). CNS, based at NYU's Washington Square campus, hosts primary neuroscience laboratories, collaborates with biology, psychology, physics, and data science departments, and oversees undergraduate neuroscience education. The NI, located at NYU's medical school, contains additional core neuroscience labs along with clinical department affiliates and the Nathan Kline Institute. Collectively, CNS and NI form the foundation for NYU's neuroscience graduate training, covering genetic, molecular, cellular, developmental, systems, behavioral, and computational research domains. Applicants use a unified online system, with admissions decisions made by a joint committee representing both institutions.

Qualification Requirements
You must receive your undergraduate degree (U.S. baccalaureate or equivalent) from an institution of recognized standing before enrollment in the Graduate School.
Admission to our graduate program is highly competitive, and applicants should have superior undergraduate grades, excellent letters of recommendation, and documented research experience. Students seeking admission should have a strong background in one or more of the academic areas involved in neuroscience, such as biology, experimental psychology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, or engineering science. Students with foreign qualifications must demonstrate command of written and spoken English before admission to the program. Qualified women and minority students are especially encouraged to apply. The department does not set minimum GPA, TOEFL, or IELTS scores or share past applicant and accepted student averages of these scores.
