PhD in Neurobiology and Neurosciences

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has stopped admitting students to the doctorate run by its Program in Neuroscience. New students instead enter the Graduate Program for Neuroscience, a campus-wide effort overseen by Graduate Medical Sciences, and this page is kept as reference for continuing students. Those continuing focus on electives and on the milestones toward a written thesis and oral defense, including the qualifying exam and regular committee meetings. The degree after a bachelor's calls for sixty-four course units, of which a set minimum must come from lectures and seminars. Doctoral students work closely with faculty advisors throughout, moving from structured coursework toward independent scholarship and a final dissertation. Prospective applicants should consult the program page and the relevant school admissions pages for current requirements, deadlines and tuition, since those details are not given on the program page.
