The Honors program aims to involve exceptional students in neuroscience, not just through classroom learning but as an evolving research journey. Candidates join by submitting an application and consulting with the program director. Participants gain hands-on experience across all facets of neuroscience scholarship, particularly the thrill of scientific breakthroughs via research and experimentation.
At its core, the program emphasizes laboratory research under faculty guidance. Students engage in every research stage—from project design and technique mastery to conducting experiments, processing data, and sharing findings. The culmination is presenting and documenting their work in an Honors thesis for the scientific community.
