Neuroscience

The purpose of this specialization is to allow graduate students pursuing masters and doctoral degrees in various disciplines (e.g., medicine, psychology, engineering, computer science, molecular bioscience, etc.) to formally specialize in neuroscience. This is accomplished by taking a minimum of 4 courses plus participate in a “journal club” focusing on neuroscience as approved by the Graduate Chair.
