The Brain and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) program at SIU emphasizes cognitive behavior approached from a combination of perspectives: Developmental (infancy and childhood, adolescence and aging) Neurobiological (neurophysiology, neuropsychology, genetics) Behavioral (human and animal experimentation) Computational (neural networks, statistical analyses, intelligent software agents) As an integral part of their training, students become active participants in ongoing faculty research programs in Brain and Cognitive Sciences. Students will receive training in two or more different research methodologies, and are expected to develop a multidisciplinary approach to their own research.

The typical student who is admitted to the BCS program has an undergraduate GPA of 3.4, and GRE scores at the 60th percentile on both verbal and quantitative. Appropriate courses are important (e.g., good grades in research methods, statistics, and science-oriented content courses), and previous experience working in an experimental laboratory helps to demonstrate preparation for graduate-level research.
A strong application will include experience working with experimental methods (e.g., small animal surgery, computer programming, neural imaging) and populations (e.g., rats, children, adults, etc.) that are related to your area of interest. Letters of recommendation from people familiar with the students' work will help to assess the students' skills, experience, and preparation for graduate study.
