Special Requirements for Admission

Students wishing to join the Neuroscience Graduate Program must be enrolled in the Division of Basic Science and be in good standing academically. Usually, students seek enrollment in the Program toward the end of their first year of study following completion of the set of research rotations and selection of a mentor. Prospective students should note that the diverse research topics in the field make neurobiology an appropriate doctoral subject for those with undergraduate degrees in physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and psychology, as well as in biological disciplines.
