Why do students choose our Neuroscience program?
Our small student-to-faculty ratio enables students to work closely with their advisers and receive one-on-one instruction. Labs tend to be small with 2-3 graduate students.
Students in our program regularly attend and present their work at neuroscience meetings like Gordon Research Conferences and the annual Society for Neuroscience.
Students can apply for a graduate assistantship to help fund their degree with tuition & fees, stipend & more.
