Program Curriculum

The M.S. in Neuroscience requires a minimum 32 credits. The Neuroscience program assumes the usual graduate full time load of at least nine credits per semester.

Incoming students admitted with background deficiencies will take background courses. For example, biology majors with little knowledge of computation will take at least one background course in computer science. The specific required background courses will be determined by each students graduate committee with the approval of the program director.
