Graduate Study in Neuroscience

Students wishing to attend graduate school in neuroscience are strongly encouraged to talk to their major advisors about additional courses that are recommended, as these vary depending upon the focus of specific graduate programs.

For programs focused on 1) cell and molecular neuroscience, biochemistry (BIOC 223) is likely among the recommended courses, 2) cognitive neuroscience, research methods in cognitive psychology (PSYC 314R) may be recommended and 3) computational neuroscience, computational and computer science courses (including CS 111, MATH 115, MATH 116) and physics (through PHYS 106 or PHYS 108) may be recommended.

Your major advisor can help you define courses that are tailored to your specific graduate school interests.
