MA/MS in Neurobiology and Neurosciences

This master of science focuses on the human brain, which the program describes as among the most significant and pressing scientific challenges. Many people live with neurological and psychiatric illnesses that remain poorly understood, and advances in deep learning, artificial intelligence and neuroengineering are expected to speed progress. Students gain a solid base in computational, molecular, psychological and quantitative approaches, along with interdisciplinary methods. They develop skill in basic and translational neuroscience supported by strong computational training, and the program offers connections to industry and supported study abroad. It partners with the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and expertise in data science methods encourages purposeful new research projects. Faculty and students from several disciplines contribute different perspectives on the brain and nervous system. Participating faculty have solid records of funding, creating a research-oriented environment with collaboration and personal mentorship. Rapid progress in the field calls for a workforce prepared for its scientific, engineering and ethical challenges.
